My plan for my contributions to Homeless dumping is to add more content to the history section and revise the lead. I want to add the following sections: statistics, interventions, policy debate, and homeless dumping outside the United States. My goal is to add greater context for the issue in the U.S., more current information, and provided a balanced overview of the major points of view.
