    Causes of Homelessness – Not Always What You Think

    Asked for a general explanation of why they were homeless, most statewide respondents cited economic reasons (75 percent) followed by family issues (45 percent) and health reasons (37 percent).
    As of January 2020, Arizona had an estimated 10,979 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) /https://www.usich.gov/homelessness-statistics/az.

    What Can We Do?

    There Are 7 Practical Ways You Can Help People Experiencing Homelessness

    1. Make cards to promote nearby shelters.
    2. Donate clothes, especially socks.
    3. Volunteer your time.
    4. Fundraise.
    5. Research your local candidates.
    6. Participate in your city’s Point-in-Time count.
    7. Remember youth homelessness.

    Remember, we could all be just one sickness away from homelessness.
