How do people lose their homes?

People can lose their homes primarily through financial difficulties, such as job loss or medical emergencies, leading to an inability to pay mortgages or rent. Foreclosure can occur when homeowners fail to make mortgage payments, resulting in the bank seizing the property. Additionally, rising housing costs, eviction due to unpaid rent, or natural disasters can also contribute to losing a home. Social factors, such as family instability or domestic violence, can further exacerbate housing insecurity.
