Housing First: Understanding the Causes of Homelessness

Content: This complicates their already fragile state and can increase their difficulties. 4. Unemployment
Part of the vicious circle of homelessness starts with one’s employment situation. Losing a job can land someone on the streets because they can’t afford their apartment anymore. Once on the streets it can be nearly impossible to get a job because they have: No address for on their resume
No phone to connect with prospective employers
No resources to create resumes
No clothing for interviews
Lack of proper nutrition to function and think properly
Lack of transportation
Often minimal experience or recent job history
All of these issues can exasperate the situation for someone who is living in poverty. Social assistance is often insufficient to meet the needs of individuals. They are left unable to get their feet on the ground because of a lack of proper support emotionally, physically, and financially. 5. Lack of Awareness and Resources
There can be a lot of red tape and bureaucracy around housing for people experiencing homelessness.
