Housing Program: A Lifeline for Families in Crisis
​
Across the nation, homelessness is rising at an alarming rate, affecting both large cities and small towns. Many families are struggling to stay afloat as they face an unstable economy, soaring inflation, and wages that fall short of covering basic living expenses. As a result, countless families are falling behind on rent, facing eviction, living in shelters or their cars—and in too many cases, ending up on the streets. Homelessness is often triggered by unforeseen events such as unemployment, natural disasters, or even terrorist attacks, leaving youth, adults, and families fighting for survival.
​
The situation is particularly dire for homeless mothers with children. National estimates suggest that on any given night, approximately 568,000 individuals are homeless in the United States—and around a quarter of them are families with children. These mothers face unique and severe challenges, including a higher risk of domestic violence, mental health issues, and limited access to healthcare. Finding safe and affordable housing, securing employment, and accessing adequate childcare are daily struggles for these families.
One of the biggest barriers is the lack of affordable housing. With rental costs skyrocketing in many cities, low-income families are often priced out of stable housing. Landlords may refuse to rent to families with children or those who have experienced homelessness, further limiting their options. On top of that, these mothers often lack access to essential resources like food, clothing, hygiene products, and transportation, making it even more difficult to find work or attend job interviews.
Though programs like emergency shelters, transitional housing, and rental assistance exist to help, they are often underfunded and unable to meet the overwhelming demand.
