HOMELESSNESS

Homelessness is a terrible reality in Rochester city. Myriad people do not have the opportunity to attend school and then consequently they do not have the chance to be prepared for a high level education such as college or university. This critical problem does not enable people to access to jobs whereby they can get high incomes.

There is a very interesting quote from people who deal with this situation, “we are homeless but not hopeless.” This sentence makes me feel encouraged because homeless, despite their situation is hard, they have a hope to continue working for their future and keep going finding new strategies in order to propel a project of new opportunities and challenges.

  1. Very academic, Carlos!! Seriously, though, homelessness among young people is a serious problem in Rochester. Were you surprised to learn this about Rochester? We do have some very good private organizations helping these kids; check out the web site for Center for Youth Services if you're interested: http://centerforyouth.net/index.php?cID=74
