Bezdomność w opinii mieszkańców bloków socjalnych

Abstract

The scope and fast implementation of some economic reforms caused many problems in Poland. It brought about increasing poverty, health problems and pathological behaviors. Weak resistance to difficult situations in life makes people fall into a state of helplessness. Afflicted by homelessness, they become unable to manage by themselves, and get lost in harsh reality (cultural and personality effects typical of a homeless person). Thus, the issue of homelessness is an extreme one (is the most tragic in its effects), and consequently a pathological one. Problems that emerge include the need for an active social policy and social work as well as for activities of mutual-aid and of charitable character. This article presents the opinions of community houses’ inhabitants on homelessness.
