"Homelessness and the Meaning of Home"

Loss of a home, whether through financial difficulties, divorce, illness or natural disasters like wildfires, is a widespread and growing problem affecting all of us. Often thought of as only an urban problem, homelessness also occurs in suburban and rural areas throughout Washington state. What are the historical roots of homelessness? What are the common meanings of home to us, and how can we apply those meanings to our responses to homelessness in our communities?
