The issue I chose to make an awareness poster on is homelessness. According to the coalition for the homeless in "December 2021, there were 48,691 homeless people, including 15,227 homeless children, sleeping each night in New York City’s main municipal shelter system. A near-record 18,704 single adults slept in shelters each night in December 2021" (Coalition for the Homeless, 2022).
A homeless person has a higher rate of issues such as mental illness, addiction, and other severe health problems. With nowhere to go and no one to help them, I think this issue has a severe impact on the human population. With numbers only rising and more people becoming homeless, this is an issue that requires consistent programming and assistance long before a person in any country has to live on the street.
