Homeless People Interviews

I believe that historians would benefit from the use of interviews when studying the living conditions of homeless individuals in our country. Even though homeless people may still possess the technology to be able to make their stories public through social media, they most likely do not possess the means for those stories to gain enough traction to raise the awareness needed for change to occur. Oral history appears to be beneficial to any group of people who are not in a socioeconomic position for their perspectives to be recognized without it. Conducting interviews is easier and more cost and time efficient than attempting to write novels on particular subjects.
