Ignorance and illness are both common effects of poverty and these have been keeping people with their state.

The whole world has already been affected by this poverty issue and is becoming more and more prominent in different areas, specifically in most developing countries. People who are in poverty are not having the ability of providing themselves their basic needs, most especially home. It is a very sad feeling knowing that you have nowhere to go. Fortunately, many organizations have now been conducting programs on homeless outreach in Maui which have resulted to many advantages.

Aside from these outreach programs, homeless shelters are also provided for them, allowing them to live temporarily. They can be able to stay here for short period of time, thus, giving them enough time to get themselves back on track. Shelters are good and safe place for them. Aside from beds, other common services which are also offered include job trainings and kitchen soups.

Non profit organizations are those who commonly provide these shelters and they could be the government or the churches. Homeless shelters have become more and more popular in various places. And since there is a continuous growth of the poverty rate, the result will be an increase of shelters as well.

There are four different models and as well as management philosophies which serve as alternatives. First is the housing first practice. These temporary homes would act as emergency shelter systems which can hold only a fraction of a rapid increase in homeless population. It serves as an alternative to current networks. This program targets a large problem which is lacking the affordability of housing.

This methodology attempts in placing back homeless families into the independent living they had immediately. This has become successful and this is according to the fact that families are becoming more responsive for supporting social services when living on their own. Through this, families are being given rentals they can afford, six months to one year of social services, and a crisis intervention.

Empowerment model. Empowerment is where participants are allowed to be empowered rather than serving clients. It has a goal to become agents for own destinies and of futures. This model has been focusing on assisting the participants with their rights of access and for the fulfillment of their responsibilities as citizens. Financial contributions are included here.

Religious shelters. Synagogue congregations and multiple churches are often coordinated with this. And this has the purpose of linking up the chances of the nighttime shelter. It is usually affiliated as well with the faith based types of community service groups.

Vehicle as shelter. Some homeless people are camping out with the use of their cars with coordination and support of the non profit groups. These individuals are those who were not able to afford their rents or mortgages. Good thing is they still have some support structures including cars, insurances, and jobs.
