Stockholm
Beyond sleeping rough, homelessness may include situations of living in temporary, insecure or poor-quality housing. Typical causes of homelessness are:
unemployment and poverty
migration
aging
Relationship Breakdowns
lack of affordable housing for rent and for sale
Inadequate support for people leaving care facilities, hospitals, prisons or other public institutions.
Homeless people may face reduced life expectancy, health problems, discrimination, isolation, and barriers to access to basic public services and benefits.
