Homes provide shelter and a place to be comfortable without all the intrusions of the outside world.
The best part of the home is often not a particular part, but the concept that a shelter has been set up for a family, or even a single individual.
The psychological part of a home is feeling safe when a storm or another weather event is approaching, threatening destruction.
Getting in and out of the rain, snow, sleet or wind and becoming warm and dry and safe is one of the best feelings in the world.
It doesn't matter how big the home is or how ornate, the feeling of shelter is positive for the soul.
Safety is important for any family, and the lack of a secure shelter is one of the reasons that mental health issues are so prevalent among the homeless population.
When a family loses their home, or the affordability of a home has been removed from their reach through a income loss or natural disaster, the well being of the family suffers greatly.
Mentally, not having a place that is safe and theirs offers considerable stress and pressure, especially for the adults.
Mental health is not something that every person thinks about constantly, but when there is not a safe place to leave belongings, or sleep, it challenges the happiness of the family.
Getting back into a home can be challenging, but there are many options for assistance to find new housing when a family has lost their home.
