HOMELESSNESS
The homeless community includes whole families, children, veterans, and the mentally ill. Homelessness is highly misunderstood, and the longer we ignore it, the more likely it is that it will remain an issue. We avoid thinking about it, never considering that we ourselves could one day fall victim to it. It bears reminding that though many of us enjoy a degree of relative comfort now, it takes only a few unfortunate developments for most to find themselves homeless.
Total Homeless People on a Single Night in January 2020:
California had 161,548 homeless people, which accounted for 28% of the nation’s homeless population. California also had the highest rate of unsheltered people at 70.4% (113,660 were unsheltered). ∙ More than half of all unsheltered people in the country were in California (51%). ∙ California had the largest increase in homelessness from 2019-2020, which amounted to 10,270 more people (a 6.8% increase). It also had the second largest increase from 2007-2020 (28,670 people or a 45.8% increase).
Blessed Foundation’s commitment to combating homelessness
At Blessed Foundation, our commitment to combating homelessness goes beyond awareness; it translates into tangible, impactful solutions. Through strategic alliances with rescue missions, churches, and community-focused organizations, we extend our reach to provide shelter, nourishment, and support to those in need. Our dedicated giving events, such as the annual Skid Row feeding in Los Angeles, embody our hands-on approach. Furthermore, the Blessed Foundation Economic Development Scholarship program aims to break the cycle of homelessness by empowering young individuals with educational opportunities, setting them on a path to a successful future. With every initiative, we strive to bring about lasting change and offer hope to those facing the challenges of homelessness.
