As the rents in Austin begin to rise, the rich is getting richer but unfortunately the poor is still poor. Though recent studies have shown that the percentage of poor people in Austin has dropped by .5% it still hasn’t disappeared (Austin Business Journal). So what can we do? Well, as a St. Edwards University student myself I have noticed drop sites for non-perishable food items. Also one place you can contact to help is the Community Partnership for the Homeless at austinhomelessness.org. Founded in 1990 Community partnership mission is to help end homelessness by providing safe, affordable housing and access to supportive services.
Lets also be respectful of the conditions in Africa where the poverty conditions are far worse. In a nation of war and genocide, the world has not put in enough effort to stop the humanitarian crisis. So may are prayers be with them also, and may we make an effort to stop poverty around the world.
