Abstract:
Homelessness is a growing issue within the United States and proper shelter is not always accessible. This is a problem that is expected to escalate as the years progress. Improving the conditions of the shelter in which homeless individuals stay, could contribute to their overall well-being and rehabilitation. These conditions can be improved on a daily basis by providing adequate services to help with self esteem, hygiene, clothing, employment and education. Integrating the wellness factor into the building program itself would be beneficial in our Community.
