More people are experiencing homelessness than ever
before. It’s a complicated issue with no quick solution, and
there are likely even more people suffering from
homelessness than we realize, given the hidden forms of
homelessness.

homelessness (seeing people
on the streets), but statistics
don’t take into account people
sleeping in their cars, “couch

as dangerous as sleeping on
the streets, and yet resources
are unavailable to them.

4. HOMELESSNESS IS
FUNDAMENTALLY DEFINED
To have a home, though, you have to be able
to buy or rent one, and that can be expensive,
especially without a steady income. Even with
a steady income, there is no state where
someone who earns a minimum wage salary
can afford a two-bedroom apartment at

has literally never been more expensive. If you
are looking to a buy or rent a home, prices are
great for the family selling the house, but less
so for the family looking to buy it.

time jobs, as well as many others, but there are not nearly enough homes to fit them. For every
100 poor families in the United States, only 31 affordable housing units are available, which leaves
the other 69 families struggling to find somewhere to live.

people the homes and
stability they not only need
but fundamentally deserve.
And if we can find permanent,
quality affordable housing for
people experiencing
homelessness, that’s the best
starting point to end
homelessness in all
communities permanently.
