It Could Happen To YOU

What does the face of a homeless person look like to you?

A homeless face isn’t necessarily unwashed, unshaven.

 

A homeless face might look like you or your neighbor.

All it takes is one catastrophic event or one missed paycheck.

 

 

MYTH: The main causes of homelessness are

             addiction and mental health issues.

FACT: Statistics show, the cost-of-living index is the most important factor causing homelessness (1).

FACT: Housing is Out of Reach for many (2). Minimum wage doesn’t cut it.

 

Nationally, the homeless rate has JUMPED 37% since 2014!

 

Even the homeless face you can’t see is etched with despair.

 

THIS COULD BE YOU!

Get involved with policy change to transform lives.
