Some have suffered from child abuse or violence. Many have lost their jobs. All have lost their homes. Individuals who have had previous experiences with foster care are at a higher risk for experiencing homelessness, particularly when transitioning from foster care.\u00a0 For many young people, their first experience of homelessness occurs well before they are entitled to access interventions and supports.\u00a0 Most youth traced the origins of their homelessness back to systems failures<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n MYTH<\/b>: Most homeless people live on the street.<\/span><\/p>\n FACT<\/b>: Most homeless people don\u2019t live on the street. More than 80% of Canada\u2019s homeless are improperly housed or on the verge of eviction. Many are sleeping in temporary beds \u2013 with friends or relatives, in church basements, in welfare motels, in abandoned buildings and vehicles, and in other sites away from the public eye. They are the hidden homeless.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n MYTH<\/b>: They don\u2019t work.<\/span><\/p>\n FACT<\/b>: Many homeless people are among the working poor. A person earning a minimum wage can\u2019t earn enough to support a family of three or pay rent. Youth vividly describe experiences of discrimination and stigmatization when applying to rent housing, accessing income supports, or obtaining a job.\u00a0 They may not have the education or experience required to get even a minimum-wage job. They likely don\u2019t know how to look for apartments, and even if they do, they\u2019ll find many landlords are hostile to the idea of teen tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n MYTH<\/b>: They are heavy drug users.<\/span><\/p>\n FACT<\/b>: Some homeless are substance abusers; research suggests one in five. Many of these are included in the 39% who suffer from mental illness.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n MYTH<\/b>: They are dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n FACT<\/b>: Sometimes an encounter with the homeless may end in tragedy. However, this is extremely rare. In general, the homeless are among the least threatening group in our society. They are often the victims of crimes, not the perpetrators.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sources include<\/i><\/b>:\u00a0 Without A Home, The National Youth Homelessness Survey (2016: Stephen Gaetz, Bill O\u2019Grady, Sean Kidd, Kaitlin Schwan, Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, A Way Home, The Home Depot Canada Foundation\/The Orange Door Project.)
