Reitzes, Donald C., Crimmins, Timothy J., Yarbrough, Johanna, Parker, Josie. “Social support and social network ties among the homeless in a downtown Atlanta park.” Journal of Community Psychology. 39.3(2011)274-291. Wiley. Web. 24 Feb, 2016.
This article talks about the problems the homeless face, how they find help, and how they find support and a sense of community. The article explain how homelessness effects other races and gender now more than ever, and how the homeless come together from support. They make there homeless brothers and sisters into their families, and they help each other with normal task or just giving them a normal conversation. This article hits on the same topic of homelessness, though this article talks more about their realities and how they help each other rather than where they live and what a person could consider a home. The only weaknesses that existed throughout this paper was the feeling it wasn’t talking all the bad sides of the homeless. I picked this source because it deals with the sense of community that I’m trying to research, and it also kind of hit on the topic of safety.
