Emergency housing refers to temporary accommodations provided to individuals or families who are experiencing homelessness or are displaced due to crises such as natural disasters, domestic violence, or economic hardship. These facilities can include shelters, motels, or designated housing units that offer a safe place to stay while individuals seek more permanent solutions. Typically, emergency housing programs are managed by local governments, non-profit organizations, or community groups. They often provide essential services such as meals, counseling, and assistance with finding long-term housing options. The goal is to ensure that those in need have immediate access to shelter and support during difficult times.
