Chronic Homelessness

Chronic homelessness refers to individuals who have been homeless for an extended period, often defined as continuously for a year or experiencing multiple episodes of homelessness over several years. These individuals typically face complex challenges, including mental health issues, substance abuse, and physical disabilities, making it difficult for them to find stable housing. Unlike temporary homelessness, which can occur due to job loss or personal crises, chronic homelessness often reflects deep-rooted social and economic problems. Addressing it requires comprehensive support, including housing assistance, healthcare, and social services.
