Homeless activist Al Williams has been living in the streets of Fresno, Ca for many years. He's experienced homeless shelters, abuse from the police, robbery, and hunger. Al Williams, however, feels like the city doesn't care about the homeless. In a way, they do not do enough to help the homeless. He is convinced that former mayor did not like the homeless.

The day Al Williams came to speak in my class, i thought it was just another regular man. He didn't appear homeless to me. He addressed the importance of helping each other and surviving on your own. The City took away his personal stuff, wedding pictures, clothes, etc. Al Williams and other homeless activist were tired of the city destroying their private property. A team of homeless activists and attorneys fought against the City of Fresno and won a settlement of approximately $2 Million. 

I feel like the city SHOULD be doing something to clean up the streets of Fresno, CA because the city is paying more to keep them out of houses then if we would if we did house them. The homeless filing reports of abuse from the FPD is absolutely wrong. The police should be protecting the residents of Fresno and helping them not abusing them. Homeless people are human beings just like everyone else and live in the City of Fresno just like everyone else. 

Al Williams motivated me to want to give back and help the community clean the streets. To donate food and clothes to the Poverello House to feed and clothe people who need it. 

The City is currently in a program to get rid of chronic homelessness in Fresno, CA. They have a Ten Year Plan is planned to permanently house over 950 homeless people by 2018. The plan that started in 2008 has been progressing towards that goal. Every 2 years, statistics show that the rate of chronic homelessness have decreased.
