Homelessness is often caused by a combination of economic, social, and personal factors, such as a lack of affordable housing, low income, unemployment, mental illness, and substance abuse.
Homelessness can have serious consequences for individuals, including a lack of access to basic necessities like food, clothing, and healthcare, as well as increased vulnerability to violence and crime. It can also have negative impacts on physical and mental health, as well as social and economic mobility.
