What is Homelessness?

4/19/2018

 
Simply put—Homelessness describes a condition in which a person is without housing. CCO has learned to use a kinder phrase for people living on the streets or in makeshift camps.​

We use the phrase “people who are experiencing homelessness” — they are not “homeless people”. A person who is without shelter or unhoused may be temporarily or chronically experiencing homelessness.
  • Researchers say people become homeless for many reasons.
  • In California, along the West Coast, rent increase of 5 percent could see 2,000 people become homeless, and one crisis on the brink.
  • The growing population is outpacing the numbers of homelessnes
