6.Gregory Talley used to sleep in a park,at an airport,or under a bridge.The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10years."It is hard.It's hard to live homeless.You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat.If I hadn't found wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter,I wouldn't know where I would be by now.I might be dead,"Talley said.According to 2015government data,more than a half-million people in the United States are homeless on any given night.As many homeless shelters across the U.S.remain at or near capacity,the country faces complicated challenges.In his fiscal 2017budget,President Obama proposed spending $11billion over the next 10years to fight family homelessness.
The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless families and individuals in the Washington suburbs.Pam Michell has dedicated her life to making the lives of this vulnerable population better as executive director of the nonprofit organization.
"I went to Africa in 1985.And I saw an immense amount of poverty,but I saw so much hope.And I wondered what I was doing at home in my middle-class American life and decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,"Michell said."It is convenient,homelessness just happened to be what was around me.So I picked that,"she added.
When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25years ago,its three shelters had about 80beds.Now,it has 350beds and serves about 1,500homeless people every year.Michell has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.
"We do outreach,we do prevention,we do permanent housing,we do transitional housing.We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,"she said."Our Out of Poverty program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance and work values,and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility."
