Homelessness

Homelessness is the condition of people without a permanent place to live. This can include people who are staying in shelters, transitional housing, or on the street. Homelessness can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, but it is often associated with poverty, mental illness, addiction, and other challenges. Governments and organizations provide a range of services to people who are homeless, including emergency shelters, housing assistance, and social services. Addressing homelessness is a complex challenge that requires a combination of short-term solutions, such as providing shelter, and long-term solutions, such as addressing the underlying causes of homelessness.
