HIDDEN HOMELESSNESS: The Unseen Struggles of Families in America While many associate homelessness with individuals on the streets, a significant portion of those affected are families with children. Shockingly, 7 out of 10 homeless individuals in America are families. Family homelessness often remains hidden from public view, as families may double up with friends or live in cars, making them less visible than those on the streets. The reasons behind family homelessness vary, but poverty, domestic violence, and a lack of affordable housing are common factors. Homeless children face immense challenges, including disruptions in education, health issues, and emotional trauma. For parents, the struggle to provide for their families while homeless is a daily ordeal. Preventing family homelessness is a complex task that requires a multifaceted approach. It involves not only providing immediate shelter but also addressing the root causes, such as affordable housing, economic security, and support for survivors of domestic violence. To make a lasting impact on this hidden crisis, it's crucial to support organizations like Humanly, which focus on family homelessness prevention and assistance once on the streets.

Did you know that over 38,000 young people aged 15–24 years presented alone to a homelessness service in 2022–23? Of these young people, almost half experienced mental ill-health, and over one-third experienced domestic and family violence. Most of these young people needed short- or long-term accommodation, and most were turned away due to a lack of capacity. These statistics only scratch the surface of issues that young people experiencing homelessness face. To have statistics like this in a country like Australia is not acceptable; together, we can have a tangible impact, and now is the time to act. #wehavetodobetter #YHMD

The #wealthiest municipalities in two of NJ's largest counties, send local youth in crisis to the #poorest municipalities in the state. I have a problems with this. Forcing youth to leave their #community, school, peers, and self-created support systems hours away in an unknown area makes them afraid to get help. We are in the midst of an #adolescent mental health crisis. Abusive relationships, drug and alcohol use, #suicide, and homelessness are increasing tremendously among our youth. They need safe places to turn. #Safe places for mental care. Opportunities for youth and families to work on preventing further crisis. CLCL Foundation cannot be that without you. Please, #donate today for youth 10 to 19 who are in crisis, runaways, homeless, stepping from inpatient care, and more. https://lnkd.in/g3jXfQJp ##BeTheChange #ChooseLove ##CelebrateLife #HelpOurYouth #Help #Donate #Volunteer
