Homeless People |
---|
Los Angeles is a big city. |
There are millions of people here. |
But thousands of people have no home. |
They are homeless people. |
They live on the sidewalks. |
They sleep on the sidewalks. |
They are called street people. |
They don’t have cars. |
They have shopping carts. |
They fill the carts with their belongings. |
They put their extra clothes into the carts. |
They put their blankets into the carts. |
Many homeless people live downtown. |
They live near the newspaper building. |
They live near the courthouse. |
They live near fancy condos. |
They have no money. |
They sit on the sidewalk all day. |
People walk by them. |
They ask people for money. |
People say they don’t have any money. |
There are missions downtown. |
These missions feed homeless people. |
They give them free lunches. |
They feed them every day. |
Some missions have beds. |
Homeless people sleep in these beds. |
But there are more homeless people than beds. |
There are not enough beds for the homeless people. |
So most homeless people sleep on the sidewalk. |
They sleep next to their shopping carts. |
