There was an 8% increase in homelessness in Michigan from 2021 to 2022
One third of homeless adults were age 50 and older in 2003 and is likely
even higher today and expected to continue to rise. (nih.gov)
The average age of a homeless child in the United States is 9 years
Rural homelessness looks different from urban homelessness
- It has unique challenges:
- Fewer job opportunities
- inadequate low income housing
- Huron County has no homeless shelters
Homeless people sleep in their cars, car washes, dugouts, tents and barns
Being homeless can take 20-30 years off your life
