Research reveals that a significant portion of those experiencing homelessness also live with severe mental health conditions. Approximately 25% face challenges such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.
Living without stable housing amplifies existing mental health challenges and introduces new hurdles. Accessibility to consistent mental health care becomes an obstacle, hindering recovery and perpetuating the cycle of homelessness.
