Homeless in Berkeley

More than 200,000  are homeless in California. Most homeless fall into the typical category that list people have of them; lazy, crazy. They have a "typical@ look of dirty, smelly and raggedy. Some places like Berkeley do their best to provide them with a shower and food to eat. Most homeless suffer from substance abuse, domestic violence , some are veterans, and some are severely ill. Some of the programs that they offered help them with living assistance, food and clothing. They also have a program that helps them with low income housing. And they also have a 24mnth assistance program that if qualified they are provided with the necessities they need. For those that live on streets, the surrounding citizens give them food and sometimes clothing. There's also a program that helps walk-ins from 8-430 and give them meals. 
Berkeleys community is aware of their homeless population and strive to help them with necessities.
