It can happen to anyone

Homelessness can affect anyone. People who are homeless come from all age groups, and include women and men and people from all cultural backgrounds.

Homelessness includes people who are sleeping rough, as well as people staying in temporary, unstable or substandard accommodation.

Homelessness is not always just about a lack of housing. The causes are complex and varied - including a shortage of affordable accommodation, domestic violence, unemployment, mental illness, family breakdowns and drug or alcohol abuse.
