@skinnylatte this is about the UK, but I think there would be a lot of overlap: I've been trying to get everyone to read Daniel Lavelle's Down and Out: Surviving the Homelessness Crisis, released 2022. Lavelle talks about his own experiences of being unhoused and those of people he knew and interviewed over the course of years.
We* think we know these things, but own-voices accounts bring them into painfully sharp relief. The path to being unhoused is so tied to disability, MH, and abuse >
