California is where 30% of the nation’s homeless population and 50% of the unsheltered homeless population lives. Unsheltered homeless reside in cars, parks, sidewalks, abandoned buildings, and the street. Sheltered homeless live in emergency shelters. The cost of housing has become unsustainable in California with the reported median homeless monthly household income of $960 in the six months prior to becoming homeless.
