Guarini Lecture Series Hosts Homelessness 101: A Solvable Crisis Symposium
Homelessness is a condition that does not discriminate. Regardless of race, religion or economic standing, there are a variety of situations that can lead to an individual – and even a family – into having no place to call home. In the United States, more than 3.5 million people experience homelessness each year. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, 633,782 people experience homelessness on any given night in the country. Of that number, 239,403 are people in families and 392,945 are individuals. About 10 percent of the homeless population – 62,619 — are veterans.
