Throughout the entire article, Goth tries to analyze the problem of homelessness, and how we

should deal with it. In order to support her idea, the author utilizes a church's work and cities

survey to present a base of information. These allow her to provide evidence in order to create a

foundation for her idea of stopping this epidemic. Goth elaborates on the idea that it is

important to help out with a whole group, rather than trying to feed the homeless alone. She

also informs the reader how it is safer to operate in a group rather than alone. This article is

essential to my capstone, because it supports how I wish to go about my work. It also helps me

find the best way to execute what I would like to do. Goth provides me with a solid structure to

build upon my want to help the homeless.

proven values that support his ideas. Moulton utilizes her sources in order to support the idea

that homelessness is best addressed through funding dedicated to housing and other systems.

Throughout this article, Truong analyzes the ideas of what causes homelessness, how it affects

society, and how to move forward with the situation. The author utilizes national statistics on

homelessness, and other means such as newspaper columns, in order to establish a precedent.

Truong uses this information in order to inform the reader what feeding the homeless can

actually do do them (when not done in the right way). The author also establishes methods that

can be used to analyze what homelessness causes and how to stop it. This source was extremely

valuable to my capstone, due to the idea that it helped me understand what I was doing. It also

opened my eyes to some of the other causes of the problem that I wanted to solve. This was

extremely helpful to my understanding, of what I was actually working towards. It not only did

that, but the research also helped me do it the right way.

The main question that the author of this article was addressing was how to solve the

homelessness epidemic that Southern California deals with today. The writer of this article uses

local sources in order to get a very accurate reading of just exactly how terrible this problem is.
