TRAUMA-INFORMED DESIGN AND CARE IN OUR HOMELESS SHELTERS AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FACILITIES MUST BE IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE THAT FACILITIES, TREATMENT AND CARE ARE MOST EFFECTIVE AND GET PEOPLE OFF OF THE STREETS!
We can get persons experiencing homelessness off of the streets if we can get them into the shelters where efforts are mostly focused on providing them with some kind of permanent housing. Since for the most part, the needed housing is currently not available, shelters must serve as places where they can heal and grow. We must have a better understanding of why many are not willing to use the shelters and create places that accommodate their specific needs.
There must be a common understanding that the human condition of homelessness is traumatizing and a personal threat to the survival of persons experiencing homelessness. Many homeless persons have suffered traumatic experiences since childhood and often times a traumatic experience is the cause of a persons homelessness. Some examples of trauma are: physical, mental or sexual abuse, abusive relationships are traumatic. Witnessing a parent or sibling being abused or being abused by a parent, sibling or other relative can result in trauma. Losing a job, losing your house, losing your family and friends and becoming homeless can have lasting traumatic effects on a person. Of course, there are endless more ways someone can be traumatized
By definition trauma is as follows: “Individual trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being.”
It just so happens that unhoused persons are more likely to be negatively effected by trauma than their housed counterparts.
