This framework is not only focused on the activity is to be done by theorganization, but also pays attention on how to assess and analyze the needs of people by doingresearch on the target market where they live, work and play, these all are considered as thesettings of the health promotion.Identifying Health NeedsIt is very imperative to identify the needs of human being and there are many theories andstudies are applied to identify the needs. It is very common thing that every human being hasneeds and their needs are changing with the time. The very popular theory is used to identify theneeds developed by the Maslow. Maslow introduced hierarchy of five needs. Maslow Theory of identifying needs- Maslow’s hierarchy needs to contain five levels. The lowermost level is physiological needs which are the most basic needs, including food, shelter,clothing. The next level is the safety needs which include security of the job, security of body,security of resources, etc. next is the belongingness needs which include family, affection,friendship etc. the level rises up to esteem needs which includes confidence, self esteem,achievement, respect. The last level is the self actualization needs which include creativity,acceptance of facts, etc. In order to move properly in the hierarchy, one must satisfy the basicneeds and only then the self actualization needs are fulfilled.3

Thisarticle suggests that the engagement of people in the activities is not for the future goals, but thisis aim to build the confidence and self efficacy. Article 2- In this article “homeless health care raising the standards “ introduces a multifacetedapproach that deals with the homeless people and more concern is given to substance abuse,mental health disorders, physical ill health and homelessness itself.Work activities also helppeople to walk in a right direction and stay away from the alcohol and drugs.there are manyfactors that are responsible for the ill health of the homeless people like poverty, alcohol,substance abuse, mental disorders.
