The fundamental requirements for human survival include sustenance and hydration. A lack of consistent access to these basic provisions poses significant health risks and impedes an individual’s ability to address other challenges. Consequently, the absence of readily available nutrition and potable liquids exacerbates the vulnerabilities experienced by individuals without stable housing.
Addressing the nutritional and hydration deficits in this population is paramount for humanitarian reasons and contributes to broader societal well-being. Historically, inadequate access to these necessities has resulted in increased rates of illness, hospitalizations, and mortality. Provisioning these individuals with food and water can alleviate immediate suffering, improve overall health outcomes, and create opportunities for accessing further supportive services.
