Street lawyer final blog

In the first article they helped the homeless people get money by writing newspaper and selling it on the streets. But people got mad and the cops began to fine them 50 dollars each for selling the paper with out a license.  This can be compared to the 14th Street Clinic by them both helping out the homeless and trying to get them some money to live and not begging for money every day on the streets.  Also people are enjoying to work with the homeless and want them to be clean with drugs and safe and not get into trouble by the law not a lot of people would do that.  For the newspaper it is only 35cents for one copy when the retail is $1.25 it is 16 pages long and has color photographs.  I think it is a good cause for them because there experiencing many things they couldn't when they were living on the streets and there staying away from drugs. 14th street clinic does kind of the same thing because they are there to get the homeless off the streets, and to help them out and be there for them like when ruby wants her kid back Mike will only give her her son if she gets clean and stays off drugs.

In the second article is about housing for the homeless so they can get them to shelter and hopefully stop long term homelessness.  There has been 73 percent reduction in chronic homelessness in Cuyahoga County, this house is for the homeless to get clean and to look for jobs so they can end up living on their own, and this house also is there for when get out and live on their own they will have a better understanding about living on their own for when they get a job and make their own money so they can move somewhere.  On the 14th street clinic they will try and win cases for them so they can get money and get a home so there not on the streets so they can try and find a job for them self.  About 20 percent of the homeless living in that house is known as chronically homeless.  Chronically homeless people are people that have had a year or longer of homelessness before they have moved to the house.  the building they are staying in is a 11 million dollar building with 65 furnished and subsidized studio apartments it is located on Buckeye Road near East 116th Street this is the ninth opened by Housing First, a coalition of more than 40 private and public organizations. On the street lawyer its like when there helping out with the food shelter and Mike sees the lady with her three children and he wants them to get a home and new clothes because he feels bad for them because there it a little kid with them that shouldn't be living like that.

These topics are affected by the D.C. setting because there are a lot of different races and they are all sorts of them in D.C. but a lot of them have a good amount of money and the ones that don't are homeless.  the street lawyer is a good example of power because its based in the the capital of the US and it has the most power there so Michael and his workers have he most power and there trying to get the homeless a home so Michele's firm is like the government and the homeless are the people struggling in the world and the government are trying to help them survive that is how I see it.

Drake and Sweeney harass Michael by evicting more homeless people so Michael has to do more work and so its like a message like you should of never left the firm to be a street lawyer.

Michael's first couple days are way different because he is used to a big office and a nice work environment, and its different because its not the same as working at the firm the cases are different the clients are different the workers are different. 

Michael and mister are alike because they both take charge and wanted people to help out the homeless.
