There are often stereotypes that a lot of people think of those experiencing homelessness, such as those with addictions or mental illness. The tragic thing is, some are just one tough experience away.

Things that can lead to experiencing homelessness:

single mom’s with low paying jobs that don’t have family support

veterans with PTSD

people with high student loans

large medical bills

This is called the slow spiral. An event happens and before you know it, one thing leads to another and finally it’s one thing too many and it pushes them over the edge. There is a feeling of hopelessness and no where to go.

Our guest, Author and lifelong homeless advocate Leigh Lincoln, is giving us lots of great information of how we can help those in need.
