In fact, about one in three people experiencing homelessness have some sort of substance use disorder, according to Andrew West, housing policy fellow for Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. Two-thirds of homeless people have experienced substance use disorder at one time or another. The statistics come from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMSHA, a federal agency.</p>
