Homelessness is a pressing social issue that affects millions of people around the world. Defined as lacking a stable, safe, and adequate place to live, homelessness transcends geographical boundaries and impacts individuals and families from diverse backgrounds.

One of the primary causes of homelessness is the lack of affordable housing. Rising rents and property prices have pushed many individuals and families out of the housing market, forcing them to seek shelter in temporary accommodations or on the streets. Moreover, economic hardships, job loss, and limited access to social support systems can exacerbate the issue, leaving vulnerable populations at an increased risk of becoming homeless. A significant subset of the homeless population comprises individuals struggling with mental health issues. The lack of proper mental health care and support can lead to a downward spiral, leaving people without the resources to maintain stable housing or employment. Tragically, this cycle perpetuates their homelessness, making it difficult for them to reintegrate back into society. Another vulnerable group affected by homelessness is youth. Many young people experience family breakdowns, abuse, or neglect, leaving them without a stable home environment. Without proper guidance and support, they can end up living on the streets, facing increased risks of exploitation, substance abuse, and involvement in criminal activities.

Homelessness not only impacts individuals' well-being but also places a burden on society as a whole. It depletes public resources as governments try to provide emergency shelters, food, and medical care for the homeless population. Additionally, it creates challenges for local communities as the presence of homeless encampments can lead to concerns about safety and public health.
