Last year, 4 in 10 people experiencing #homelessness were unsheltered, in vehicles, under bridges, in parks, doorways and bus terminals. Unsheltered homelessness means less access to social services and greater exposure to violence, exploitation, citation and arrest. untdwy.org/housing

Sheltered #homelessness occurs when people live or sleep in emergency shelters, transitional housing or safe havens, where they have greater access to social services to help them get back on their feet. Today 6 in 10 people experiencing homelessness are sheltered. untdwy.org/housing

You’ve probably heard of the one-third rule. Experts say you shouldn’t spend more than one-third of your monthly income on rent and utilities. However, this is nearly impossible in parts of the U.S. where #housing costs are rising faster than real incomes. www.unitedway.org/homelessness...
