Homeless Shelters & Services

Homeless Shelter Exploration Power Point Project

Mrs. Lydon

We have been reading about homelessness and viewed a powerful movie about the subject. Now it is time to learn about this problem on a local level. You will be given a homeless shelter to explore via the internet.

You will need to gather the following information and prepare a 7 slide power point presentation to share what you've learned.

  • Mission Statement
  • Hours of operation
  • What does this facility offer people
  • (3 examples)
  • How does this facility get financial support?
  • Who works at this facility?
  • Statistics
  • (number of homeless served, etc.:)
  • Community Partners
  • Fundraising Events
  • Testimonials (real people's stories)

Your last slide should focus on what you've learned about homelessness and how this unit has impacted you as a person.
