Rzeczywistość, która istnieje obok nas (…) – problem bezdomności i jego ocena

Today, especially when we talk about the rapid development of the economy and technology, and the progressive process of globalization, the topic of homelessness can not be silenced. Homelessness visible in the Polish reality arouses anxiety, often combined with compassion or stigma. The following article assessed the reality of homelessness in two basic dimensions: first an assessment of homelessness affecting an individual person was made: violation of his dignity, various forms of rejection: marginalization of a man, deprivation of work, disturbed attitude to the family, homelessness including families. This study also evaluates homelessness in relation to the community that is society. Relations between the homeless and the society have been shown, among others the talk was about homeless people’s relation to social structures, about the lack of perspective on permanent work, about reluctance and even hostility towards other members of society, and finally about the lack of prospects for their own housing.
