Homelessness Crisis
Hidden in Plain Sight

Every night in the U.S., millions of young adults face housing insecurity—sleeping in shelters, on friends' couches, or in unsafe conditions.

HOUSING

Ripple Effects

When housing isn’t secure, everything else becomes harder.

​

Young adults experiencing housing insecurity face barriers that go far beyond shelter. Without intervention, the ripple effects impact every aspect of life—from education and employment to physical health and mental well-being. At Breaktime, we work to interrupt these cycles and offer young people a real path forward.
