|Homelessness is traumatic. People experiencing homelessness are
living with a multitude of losses. People who are homeless have
lost the protection of home and community, and are marginalized,
isolated, and stigmatized within the larger society.
Additionally, people who are experiencing homelessness are
highly vulnerable to violence and victimization. The resources
and subtopics in this section provide more information about the
linkages between trauma and homelessness. See also the Trauma-
Informed Care topic page to learn more about best practices for
serving people who have experienced trauma.
