An Unseen Reality: Infant and Toddler Homelessness

From Thrive from the Start: 

• "Homelessness in early childhood can lead to developmental delays, physical and mental health issues, and lasting effects on well-being."
   
• "Homelessness during pregnancy or within the first three years of a child’s life has lifelong consequences on physical health and mental well-being. These years are foundational to development, and trauma—including homelessness—can disrupt this growth, leading to long-lasting effects.2 Homelessness causes harm, and we must take action to address and prevent it."
