The Homeless in Exeter

Introduction:

This article will be about the huge homeless population in the city of Exeter. Every day, I see people in the city center begging for change, so I became interested in learning what the city was doing to help these people. 

What community need did I learn about?:

The community need I learned about was helping the huge amount of homeless people in the city of Exeter. 

Why does the community have this need?:

I talked to different people in the city, and I learned that the city of Exeter has the second largest homeless population out of all of the cities in England, with London having the largest population. 

Is this need being met? How?:

The needs of many homeless people are being met by different organizations. Some of these organizations are St. Petrock, Community Housing Aid and The Streets Homeless Outreach Team. I learned that these organizations are helping people find food, jobs and a place to live. They provide a support system for the homeless and make sure that they can move forward in life.
