Dear Mayor,
I understand that you have to choose an option to help the city. You are trying to decide between building a homeless shelter and building a shopping mall. Your decision is important because New York City has the most homeless people in the U.S. This will be a big help for the economy of our city. So your option is important for New York. I believe that building a homeless shelter is better because it will provide jobs, provide education and lessen the numbers of crimes.

Building a homeless shelter is good for New York City because it will increase jobs. First of all, it can provide jobs for construction workers. In order to build the shelter, we will need many different workers. We need engineers, carpenters, plumbers, painters and electricians. Currently the unemployment rate is very high. Hiring people to build shelter can lower the unemployment rate. Secondly, there are some homeless people who need help from social workers. They need help for their health and lessons. Social workers can get their job in the shelter, helping homeless people. A homeless shelter is the place they can work after they finish school. They can practice their service in homeless shelter by helping the Homeless. Finally, it will help to give chance for doctors and nurses to work. Homeless people need medical attentions, because the Homeless do not have healthy bodies. So doctors and nurses could offer their services. The shelter can provide job for the doctors and nurses who are in training or finish school. A homeless shelter provides many different jobs.

Building a homeless shelter is good for New York City because it helps the homeless people’s education. First of all, it can provide the opportunity to learn how to read and write. Often, Homeless people cannot read and write because they didn’t go to school before. After they learn to read and write, they can help the community and get a job. They can find job by writing resume for jobs or find job by read the newspaper. They can volunteer to clean streets and do works at the office in the community. And when they get job, it can increases the economy. Also their lives will become better after they get salary. They can buy the stuffs for their need or eat. Secondly, homeless people can learn job skills in the shelter. They learn job skill such as computer, technical, and medical skills. The company or many stores will need these people who have the specific skills. So they can get a job easily. Finally, homeless people will have health education. Homeless people can take health class and learn how to avoid HIV, AIDS and other infections. This will help our city to decrease the illness. Because of this our city will save money on the medical spending. Homeless people can have different educations in the homeless shelter.

Building a homeless shelter is good for New York City because it will lessen the numbers of crimes. First of all, murder will be lowered because they get help and education from the social workers in the shelter. They learn the laws and rules of the society. So they will be aware of doing something illegal. Also many homeless people become the victims of murder, because they live in the street. So the Homeless can live in the shelter to get protection from the murderers. Secondly, there will be fewer numbers of robberies. Many homeless people are forced to rob people’s money because they don't have place to live and food to eat. So homeless shelter will provide them a warm place to live and give them food to eat. They will realize that they should not rob people to get money and they should get a job to improve their lives. Finally, it will stop the homeless people take drugs. The social workers help them to get off of drugs. They teach the Homeless about the risk of taking drugs and provide medical care for them. Due to this, the Homeless will know the dangers of taking drug and their bodies become healthy to fight addiction. This makes homeless people to have no addiction on drug. A homeless shelter can reduce the numbers of the crimes.

Building a homeless shelter is a better choice to consider because it will provide jobs, provide education and lessen the numbers of crimes. I think building a homeless shelter can make a big impact and improve our New York City.
