A way to help homeless is change "look"

 


    As we all know, people have negative stereotypes about homeless people, and this is difficult to change in a short period of time. So, why not make people cannot identity homeless people? There was a test, that someone change to a different appearances and then go to the street and pretend to fall, to see if there are passers-by who will help. The result is intuitive, people are more willing to help and approach better-dressed people. The protection that homeless people can get is often the most basic survival need. It can help but won't make them live better that won't be look as "homeless". Thus, it would be very helpful to have a place where homeless people can clean their personal hygiene. Today, public health becomes extremely important during the epidemic. We can use it to suggest that Portland open public baths for homeless people, and cooperate with related charitable organizations to get clean clothes.
