Unit 1 homelessness
PRE-LISTENING SECTION
Exercise 1. Discuss the following issues be guided by the following information.
Have you ever thought about the problems of homeless people?
What do you know about the National Center on Family Homelessness?
Have you heard about the National Alliance to End Homelessness?
Homelessness (British English: also rough sleeping) is the condition and social category of people without a regular house or dwelling because they cannot afford or are otherwise unable to maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing, or lack, "fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." The actual legal definition varies from country to country, or among different entities or institutions in the same country or region.
The National Center on Family Homelessness was started through an unusual partnership. In 1987, David Jordan, then editor-in-chief of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, met in Boston with Ellen L. Bassuk, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Both were concerned about the growing number of homeless families in America, and wanted to do something. In 1988, Dr. Bassuk and Mr. Jordan joined forces to start “The Better Homes Fund,” what would eventually be called The National Center on Family Homelessness, which was established as a not-for-profit organization and non-endowed public charity.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness is an advocacy group, founded in 1983, which promotes measures to end homelessness in the United States. The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a leading voice on the issue of homelessness. The Alliance analyzes policy and develops pragmatic, cost-effective policy solutions. The Alliance works collaboratively with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to build state and local capacity, leading to stronger programs and policies that help communities achieve their goal of ending homelessness.

LISTENING SECTION

«Welfare motels » are often far away from schools and grocery stores.
Geography is their only drawback.

The National Alliance to End Homelessness estimated at first than an extra 1.5m people could become homeless in this recession.
