We dived into more of the history of homelessness and how it's a situation that's not only in the 1980s, but right now it’s a problem that we need to focus on. In 1988 we found that in Belltown, they had created the “soup kitchen,” which was a homeless shelter for those who needed a temporary home. They hoped to bring awareness to those who could make an impact in the future. If we skip to the present, we can see that the homelessness crisis has increased, especially after the pandemic we have been experiencing for the past few years. So many small business owners became homeless because they had to close up shop and couldn't support themselves or their families anymore. As young college students, we can make a difference for others struggling financially. We learned a lot about the community of Belltown and thought it was a great community to help those who may need it. We as a group saw about 5 homeless tents, and that may not sound like a lot, but it is. There have been many shelters for homelessness set up all around the country. Why can't there be more in Belltown? This is when we can come in and use our young minds to think of solutions to make the five tents turn into zero tents and support those who need help. For example, in Germany, they made pod-like shelters for a single person that has beds, heat, and electricity. It's simple solutions like this that can make a difference. We have to understand not every homeless person wants to be in a shelter and we also have to consider that.
