Charity and Justice

Project H.O.M.E. defiantly works for justice. It helps people in the community by not giving a short term solution, but rather giving a long term solution for those in need. Though they do acts of charity, the main objective is to give long term solutions to the community problems at hand. After all, the name says it all H for housing, O for opportunities, M for medical care, and E for education. H.O.M.E. is all about bettering people's lives not only right now, but for the future. This is one of the many ways that project home differs from other homeless shelters. Homeless shelters are a great idea and they give people shelter for the night, which is most needed. However, homeless shelters only offer "housing" for a short period of time. They cannot accommodate everyone at one time, for long periods of time. Project home tries to give people permanent homes and many more opportunities. The similarity between the two is that they are both working to help people and get people off of the streets. They are just taking different approaches project home form a justice platform and homeless shelters from a charity platform. Though project home is more complicated, I believe it will have a greater impact on the community and better long term effects.

 Every program will have flaws and room to improve. I also am not very educated on the ideal as far as charity and justice. But from what I have seen project H.O.M.E. does seem like the best. It seems to me that the best way to solve, not just poverty, but all problems are to work on a long term solution. These people are trying to better people not for today but for generations that will fallow. This program seems to be taking the best approach to the issue, in my opinion. However, I must point out the expression that you can lead it to the water but that does not mean it will drink. I think the best part of this program is the individual responsibility that must be taken. They offer all these things but the people themselves actually have to use the programs offered to their fullest. That is why this program seems most important to me.
