Children are the most vulnerable population experiencing homelessness. A result of compound stressors, such as domestic violence, neglect, substance abuse, and socio-economic status, experiencing homelessness can have significant, adverse long-term effects on the development, health, and future of a child. For children and families who experience homelessness, unaddressed childhood trauma and adversities consequently creates a never ending cycle of intergenerational trauma. However, research shows that the early provision of evidence-based interventions and assessments to address the special needs of children and families who experience homelessness helps reduce trauma and the impact of adverse childhood experiences.
