"Homeless in Chicago" by Lawrence Conley from The Examiner Chicago website on December 15, 2009

This article discusses how homeless people in Chicago are everywhere and that one can not go too far without seeing one of these people. Many people have their own views as to why and how homeless people became homeless. Some people feel that these people ask others for money to support their drinking habits and that they are not necessarily hungary. Others feel that drugs got the best of them, or that they are people who are just lazy and do not want to work. The author states that "within the critical eyes, the homeless are viewed as homeless beings and not human beings." The article provided information about the many institutions within Chicago that offer shelter and warmth, food, clothing, medical care, and housing. The author then explained that offering information such as these human necessities costs nothing.
