Homeless

Being homeless refers to not having a stable or permanent place to live. This can include living on the streets, in shelters, or in other temporary or makeshift housing. 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.

There are many organizations and programs that work to help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. These may include shelters, housing assistance programs, and social services. It is important for individuals and communities to work together to address homelessness and to support those who are experiencing it.
