Homelessness can be caused by: poverty. unemployment. lack of affordable housing. poor physical or mental health. drug and alcohol abuse. gambling. family and relationship breakdown. domestic violence. physical and/or sexual abuse.

What it's like to monitor your behavior due to fear of sexual assault. What it's like to be pregnant and not have the services you desperately need.
