Unsheltered Homelessness

Unsheltered homelessness refers to individuals experiencing homelessness who live in places not meant for habitation, such as cars, parks, abandoned buildings, or doorways, rather than in shelters or temporary housing. These individuals often lack stable and safe environments, making them vulnerable to health issues, weather conditions, and safety risks. Unsheltered homelessness highlights the severity of housing crises, often indicating gaps in affordable housing, social services, and support systems. Addressing it requires comprehensive efforts to provide stable housing options and support services to help people regain stability.
