THREE TYPES OF HOMELESSNESS
There are Three types of homelessness:
1.) Chronic: Those who are homeless for a longer amount of time, usually older or injured people. This is the least common type of homelessness.
2.) Transitional: People who stay at the shelter for only a short period of time due to a catastrophic event, usually younger people, who are forced to go to a homeless shelter for a short time. This is the most common type of homelessness.
3.) Episodic: Those who are frequently going in and out of homelessness, usually younger, and due to abuse, unemployment, and experience mental illness or medical problems.
