Housing is a Human Right
Join HomeAid during the month of November during our Homelessness Awareness Month campaign to Learn, Act, and Share, 30 Ways in 30 Days.
HomeAid believes housing is a human right. This awareness campaign encourages people to Learn, Act, and Share about the issues surrounding homelessness and will focus on those individuals and populations who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, every day in the United States, nearly 600,000 people live on our streets or in shelters, and thousands more families across the country live double and tripled up with other families because they can't afford a home. The causes of homelessness are many, including job loss, lack of affordable housing, medical crisis, domestic abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans.
The solution to homelessness is straightforward: housing. By connecting people experiencing homelessness to housing and services, they have a platform from which they can address other areas that may have contributed to their homelessness, such as employment, health, and substance abuse.
