Homelessness/Housing
Each year homelessness affects 2 - 3 million individuals in the United States. For most people, homelessness is a short, one-time event. But a relatively small and visible group experiences homelessness repeatedly or for long periods and places heavy demands on available assistance. For people with severe mental illnesses, home can be a space to live in dignity and move toward recovery. Providing adequate housing for individuals with mental illnesses requires support services and access programs, such as those provided via the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
