Without A Home Can You Be A Good Neighbor‪?‬ Us & Them

    • Society & Culture

Homelessness is one of the things that divides us in America. It’s an Us
& Them issue that can spring from, and inform our views on other social
topics. The number of homeless people nationally has dropped in the past
decade, but there was an increase between 2017 and 2018. A West Virginia man
saw a need and is trying to help. He owns and supports a homeless encampment
that gives people a place to live. At the same time, he balances the reaction
from local residents who worry about homeless people who are now, their
neighbors.
