The causes of homelessness are complex – and they’re different for everyone. Often, they include generational poverty, trauma, abuse or mental illness. Solutions need to be tailored to the individual. Sometimes it can take a few tries to get it right.

We can all support our most vulnerable neighbors. We can combat loneliness with meaningful connections, we can advocate for trauma-informed programs and services, we can listen and reach out.
