Additionally, we offer various other programs to help qualified individuals achieve stable independence by providing access to limited shelter, transportation, job placement, mental health evaluations and therapy, life skill classes, and affiliated programs for clothing, food, and counseling.

Homelessness can stem from a variety of complex factors. Here are some common causes:
Remember, addressing homelessness requires a multifaceted approach that considers both individual circumstances and systemic issues. Compassion, advocacy, and community efforts play crucial roles in combating this societal challenge.
- Lack of Trustworthy Relationships:The absence of strong, reliable relationships can lead to homelessness. Having no family or friends to turn to during tough times leaves a significant void. Trustworthy relationships can provide temporary shelter and guidance, preventing homelessness.
- Illness and Disability:Chronic illnesses and disabilities can disrupt employment. Without steady income, affording housing and basic necessities becomes nearly impossible. Medical bills further exacerbate the situation.
- Abuse: Physical or sexual abuse affects many homeless individuals. Survivors escaping their abusers often find themselves with nowhere to go, making the streets their only refuge.
- Working, but in Poverty: Some homeless people do have jobs, but they are often low-paying. These wages may not cover housing or food expenses. Evictions and foreclosures can happen suddenly, leaving them without a home.
- Unemployment: Job loss, layoffs, and workplace discrimination can thrust anyone into homelessness. The contingent nature of employment means unforeseen misfortunes can disrupt income and lead to eviction.
- Housing Affordability: A lack of affordable housing is a significant factor. Many low-income individuals cannot find housing within their means, pushing them toward homelessness.
- Life Events and Strain: Relationship breakdowns, job loss, mental or physical health problems, and substance misuse can strain individuals to the breaking point, resulting in homelessness.
statistics
Twenty-one percent of the homeless people reported have serious mental illness with 16% having substance abuse disorder.

A good estimate for the number of homeless in Moore County is approximately 230-300. Of those, 80% are from Moore County with the balance being transient, and 60% of this population suffer from mental illness.
