Homelessness in Boston

Homelessness in Boston

Within my paper, I explore the issue of homelessness that is so prevalent in and around Boston.
In particular, past, present, and future measures taken and being taken by the local and state
governments, as well as various organizations, are a large focus of the paper, and are used to better
understand the nature of Boston's particular problem with homelessness. Risk factors for homelessness
and the more common causes in Boston are explored and analyzed, to help further understand why
some approaches might work and others might not, as well as what neighborhoods within Boston might
be at greatest risk. Ways to mitigate and eventually end homelessness in Boston are also explored and
discussed within the paper, questioning what homelessness may reveal about Boston and society at
large.
