Get a Job Home | LWVMM - Homelessness

What does it take for someone who is homeless or unhoused to 'get a job'?

Things we take for granted, like clean clothes and access to a car, can be insurmountable obstacles for someone
who is homeless or unhoused.

Anyone who does not have a fixed address to call home is considered "homeless." This includes people who are living out of hotels, in their cars,
or one someone's couch. Someone without daily/nightly access to shelter is considered "unhoused," such as people who rely on homeless shelters
or sleep outdoors or in their vehicles.

As the character on your card, go through the process of trying to get a job. Put yourself in that person's shoes and answer based on how you think he/she would answer.
