Squash the Stigma!

In most cases, homelessness is not a choice. Many homeless people are forced to live on the streets because they faced domestic violence, trafficking, eviction or lost their house in a market crash. Others are forced into homelessness because they struggle with mental illness and/or substance use disorder. .

These struggles can make it difficult for anyone to live on their own, and take proper actions to keep a roof over their head. Some homeless people searched for housing in the past, but couldn’t afford rent, couldn’t find a job with enough income, couldn’t find housing, or had criminal records and were denied housing.
