Homelessness in Global Perspective

Homelessness worldwide is a complex issue caused by factors like poverty, lack of affordable housing, unemployment, mental health challenges, and social inequality. It exists in both rich and poor countries, though the scale and conditions vary. In many places, insufficient social support, economic instability, and natural disasters also contribute. Addressing homelessness requires understanding local contexts and providing access to safe housing, healthcare, and social services. Globally, efforts focus on prevention, shelter provision, and long-term solutions to ensure all individuals have stable, secure places to live.
