Homelessness in Context

How much of our paycheck goes to housing costs? Are our neighbors being diagnosed with chronic disease or experiencing domestic violence? Do our students know where they’ll sleep tonight?
These questions are deeply connected to whether we can achieve and maintain housing stability. At the same time, what happens in our housing system directly affects outcomes across health, education, employment, safety, and opportunity.
Explore the data below to better understand these connections and support data- and human-driven advocacy for housing as a fundamental human right.
