The public's attitude towards homeless people is far from positive, which is understandable. However, in a civilized society there are social institutions where the homeless can turn for this or that help.
Instructions
Step 1
Sometimes a homeless person only needs one chance to get back to normal. The most optimal way out for the homeless is to contact the rehabilitation centers that operate in many cities today. The advantage of such cents in comparison with ordinary hostels or social hotels lies precisely in the ability to provide this chance.
Step 2
If a shelter is just an opportunity to wait out the frost, eat, spend the night in more or less human conditions, then a rehabilitation center is a whole structure aimed not only at solving the current needs of people who have applied, but also at providing more thorough assistance.
Step 3
First of all, in such centers, homeless people have the opportunity to undergo disinfection, get the necessary clothing, dry rations, free food and lodging. In addition, the social workers of the centers provide assistance in collecting documents for the restoration of a passport, registration of disability, and receiving a pension. Medical workers provide the necessary medical assistance, in severe conditions they help with registration in specialized hospitals.
Step 4
If there is no such rehabilitation center nearby, you can contact the following institutions of the social direction, which also provide assistance and support to the homeless:
- Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population (help pensioners and disabled people in the future);
- social service centers (can provide charitable assistance in the form of clothing, food);
- services for family and children affairs (provide comprehensive support to homeless families with children who find themselves in difficult life situations);
- Society of the Red Cross (provides charitable assistance in the form of clothing and footwear, food, hygiene products, medicines).
