Understand the Broader Context
People who experience homelessness are not distinct and separate from the rest of the population. In fact, the line between being housed and unhoused is quite fluid. In general, the pathways into and out of homelessness are neither linear nor uniform.

The causes of homelessness reflect an intricate interplay between structural factors, systems failures and individual circumstances.
