Some people experience homelessness after years of drug or alcohol abuse or mental illness. Others are at risk after returning from military service, aging out of foster care, or aging in general, as an increasing number of seniors experience homelessness. The chronically unhomed are the most visible in the community, often more resistant to services and very vulnerable, but they are certainly not alone.
The Santa Barbara Foundation believes an essential measure of the empathy of a community is how it treats its most vulnerable residents. Therefore, we have redoubled our efforts to work with those on the frontlines of the problem of homelessness to strengthen programs and resources.
If you are interested in contributing to the solutions, we welcome your partnership and appreciate your support.
