Urban homelessness

Urban homelessness refers to individuals and families who lack stable, safe housing in city environments. It arises from various factors, including poverty, job loss, mental health issues, substance abuse, and housing costs exceeding income. Urban areas often have visible homelessness, with people living in shelters, on the streets, or in temporary accommodations. Cities face unique challenges, such as high living costs and limited affordable housing, which contribute to this issue. Addressing urban homelessness requires a comprehensive approach, including supportive services, affordable housing initiatives, and policies aimed at reducing inequality and providing assistance to those in need.
