Outstanding and Awareness Projects for the Homeless People in California: Hope for the World’s Homeless

Özlem Aki

The United States of America is a federal state with a population of more than 340 million and around 89,000 national, state and local government units provide services to this population. The federal state is the central government and benefits the entire country, states and local communities from the services left to it by the constitution. The 50 states or federated states in the country are the basic administrative units. Each state, together with the local government structure it has established, is responsible for providing services to the people living within its borders. During the review study, information has been provided about the work of the “Institute of Local Governments” aimed at local homeless people in California, especially within the scope of the ‘Metropolitan Management Area’ studies in California and the distribution of funds allocated to this issue under California law. The activities and projects carried out in the context of the needs defined as belonging, privacy, supportive environment atmosphere, rehabilitation and socialization for homeless people in California will be exemplified in the research. California has been identified as a study area since it is one of the cities where the homelessness problem is experienced intensively. Homelessness is an international problem facing every major urban center in the world.
