How to help the homeless

Homeless Insert

When you try to help the homeless, direct donations, such as money or food, may provide immediate relief, but they often don't address the root causes of homelessness, such as mental-health issues, substance abuse, or lack of affordable housing. Without addressing these underlying issues, individuals or families may remain trapped in the cycle of homelessness.

Donating to the Roswell groups that were created to help the homeless will help provide longer-term resources for homeless people or families in need within Roswell.
