Concept information

Preferred term

rural homelessness  

Definition(s)

  • The two fundamental causes of homelessness in the United States—lack of affordable housing and inability to pay for adequate housing—are not limited to urban communities, and yet “poverty in rural America is often unseen, unacknowledged, and unattended” (National Catholic Rural Life Conference 2000; ). The same can be said of homelessness in rural America. [Source: Encyclopedia of Homelessness; Homelessness, Rural]
