    homelessness. Stagnant wages, unemployment, and high housing and healthcare
    costs all play into poverty. Being unable to afford essentials like housing, food,
    education, and more greatly increases a person's or family's risk.

    Why shelter is important for homeless

    Emergency shelters play a critical role in a community's homelessness response


    system: they provide an immediate place to stay while people reconnect with
    housing. Shelters work best when people can enter and exit rapidly, with an
    appropriate level of services for their needs.

    a contributing factor towards potential homelessness.
