BasicNeedsSecurityMeasures
4Source: Wisconsin HOPE Lab
Food insecurity is the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or the ability toacquire such foods in a socially acceptable manner. Themost extreme form is often accompanied with physiological sensations of hunger.
Housing insecurity includes a broader set of challenges such as the inability to pay rent or utilities or the need to move frequently.
Homelessness means that a person is without a place tolive, often residing in a shelter, an automobile, an abandoned building, or outside.
