housing insecurity

Housing insecurity refers to the condition where individuals or families lack stable, safe, and affordable housing. This may involve frequent moves, difficulty paying rent or mortgage, or living in overcrowded or substandard conditions. It often results from economic hardships, job instability, or rising housing costs, and can lead to stress, health issues, and limited access to resources. Essentially, housing insecurity compromises one’s ability to maintain a consistent and secure living environment, impacting overall well-being and stability.
