🏡 Affordable Housing Is Emotional Wellness
May is Affordable Housing Month, a time to raise awareness about one of the most pressing and overlooked mental health issues in our society: the need for safe, stable, and affordable housing for all.
Growing up, I knew what it felt like to not have a consistent place to call home. That experience shaped me — not just practically, but emotionally. When housing is uncertain, so is everything else: your education, your health, your ability to feel safe in your own body.
Housing isn’t just about walls and a roof — it’s about dignity, security, and mental peace. When people are priced out of basic shelter or live in fear of losing it, the impact on their emotional health is profound.
This Affordable Housing Month, let’s widen the conversation. Affordable housing is not just a policy issue. It’s a mental health issue, a community issue, and a human rights issue. Without it, people can’t begin to heal, grow, or thrive.
đź’¬ If we want emotionally well communities, we must start with stable homes.
Whether you’ve experienced housing insecurity yourself, or you’re simply someone who believes in compassion and equity, your voice matters in this conversation. Let’s advocate for change — and support wellness wherever we can, including in the places we call home.
