Some of these people are college students.They realize that this could be them right now but they are fortunate enough to not be in that situation and appreciate the quality of life that they have. An example of this are the service trips that some colleges have for their students. Students travel to different parts of the globe or even parts of the U.S. like Louisiana, to lend a hand in anyway possible and learn something about the culture or people that they didn't know before.

Homelessness is a nationwide problem affecting thousands of people each year. All 50 states inhabit thousands of homeless people and the amount is steadily increasing. This is due to the direct relationship between homelessness and poverty. With the recession that the country faces and the amount of people becoming unemployed there is no telling how many people will be fortunate enough to remain from being homeless. It has been reported by the Coalition of the Homeless that number of homeless people in New York City has risen by nearly 6 percent since 2007. During the city’s 2007 Fiscal Year, 102,187 different New Yorkers were reported to have slept in homeless shelters.
