109,300 households in our community are paying more than 50% of their income on housing, and 33% of single-parent families with related children living in the home are below the poverty level.
Children who have adverse childhood experiences, such as homelessness, are more likely to suffer from asthma, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and mental illness.
61% of these evictions were households with children.
It is estimated that if those evicted in 2023 experienced only one day of homelessness, the taxpayer cost is $2,047,964.
They have no ID, no birth certificate, no passport, and no social security card, and they usually have no way to get one.
Without some form of identification, you cannot get a job, a home, medical treatment, benefits, a hotel room, space in most homeless shelters, and more.
