Data - Acuity
HEALTH CARE NEEDS
Experiencing homelessness is traumatic and can trigger, create, or exacerbate health conditions,
disability, substance use, and mental and behavioral health conditions, while at the same time
making it harder to access treatment and care. Navigating the health care system is difficult, and
it's harder for people who are regularly being displaced to make traditional appointments.
Expanded access to stable housing and high -acuity care would directly improve health outcomes.
