One reason for hope in 2020 is that homelessness in the United States eontinues to diminish. In 2009, near the end of the Great Recession, about 630,000 people were homeless, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. By 2018 that number had shrunk to a little more than 550,000. While a healthy economy has helped, so too have innovative efforts by cities and states to solve what is too often seen as an intractable problem.
Some places, such as Houston, have made great progress. That city has cut its homeless population by more than half since 2011. Yet in many other places, the number of those living on the street keeps growing. Houston has relied on an approach called "housing first" that places stable housing as an early step, even before tackling the many reasons behind homelessness. In many other locations this strategy has been less effective.
Part of the reason may be that homelessness defies simple explanations or causes. Drugs and alcohol abuse are often factors, as well as mental illness. Some homeless people are unemployable due to physical disabilities. Some hold jobs but can’t afford the cost of housing near those jobs. Others may be escaping from abusive situations in their former homes.
Recently the U. S. Supreme Court refused to hear arguments asking to overturn an appeals court ruling on homeless people. That ruling stated that homeless people can’t be removed from the street unless proper housing for them is provided. "The government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter," wrote one of the three judges for the 9th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The condition of homelessness itself is not a crime. Nor does removing homeless people from public view alone solve the problem.
In Minneapolis a homeless encampment along a major commuting highway into the city became an unsightly reminder of the city’s problem. "Everyone going downtown saw ’the camp’ day after day after day and heard the stories," says Patina Park, executive director of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center. " It made it a real issue rather than just another homeless report with statistics. "
Recently Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced that a broad public-private partnership had raised nearly $5 million to combat homelessness, including increased shelter capacity. The plan is to eventually double that amount. "Homelessness is solvable," Governor Walz says. "It is a math problem, not a character problem. It is a math problem, and we are prepared to solve that problem. " Each city may find that it needs to customize its approach to homelessness to find what works. An approach based on compassion, twinned with the firm conviction that the problem is solvable, can lead to success.
The best title for the text may be_________.
选项
A、Homelessness in the United States
B、New Lessons for Ending Homelessness
C、Ruling on Homeless People
D、Homelessness: An Intractable Problem
答案
B
解析
主旨题。作者在开篇就提及了美国的无家可归现象有好转,各州都在努力改进这个问题,接着分析了一些策略效果不佳的原因,列出了美国最高院关于这个现象的最新裁定,最后通过列举一些州的举动,表达了对改善无家可归现状的信心。因此本文主要是在论述现阶段减少无家可归现象的已经取得的成果以及未来如何解决,所以[B]选项最能概括文章的中心主旨。[A]和[D]选项范围过大,[C]选项过于片面,均排除。
