Housing instability refers to a situation where individuals or families lack a stable and secure living environment. This can include frequent moves, living in temporary accommodations, or facing the threat of eviction. People experiencing housing instability often struggle to maintain consistent access to basic needs such as food, healthcare, and education.
Factors contributing to housing instability include low income, unemployment, and rising housing costs. Vulnerable populations, such as those with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, are particularly at risk. Addressing housing instability requires comprehensive solutions, including affordable housing initiatives and support services for affected individuals and families.
