Homelessness and Maternal and Infant Health
Introduction Homelessness has significant implications for maternal, infant, and child health (MCH) and health inequities.1 Studies using International Classification of Diseases codes indicate that the number of postpartum people recorded as being affected by homelessness at the time of delivery is increasing over time.2 A multistate study using self-reported housing status demonstrated that experiencing homelessness is associated with behaviors known to affect pregnancy health (eg,...
Unaccompanied homelessness among high school students across ten states: prevalence and risk in multiple domains
ABSTRACT Unaccompanied homelessness during adolescence is a risk factor for varied poor outcomes, yet enumeration efforts struggle to provide feasible results and few analyses consider how risk might differ for this group. We consider data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey from 10 states that asked about unaccompanied homelessness and sleeping arrangement. Students who experienced any form of homelessness were at higher risk for poor outcomes and other risk experiences.
A call to action to help America's children who lost caregivers
America’s COVID-19 crisis has not ended, but we have begun to count the staggering size of the nation’s loss. Some of the cruelest pain has come to a group with the least capacity to understand and cope with it — children who have lost a parent or other in-home caregiver to the virus. The impact on these children, their families and their communities will be that much more profound if Americans do not rally to support them.

These are often well-known problems that, for financial, political, or other reasons, are left to fester until they boil over into the headlines. The widespread utility outages across Texas are the most recent example.
"Estimated Emergency and Observational/Quarantine Bed Need for the US Homeless Population Related to COVID-19 Exposure by County; Projected Hospitalizations, Intensive Care Units and Mortality" by Dennis P Culhane
Abstract This report estimates the potential hospitalization, ICU use and mortality rates associated with COVID-19 infection among the homeless population in the United States, as well as unmet need for emergency and observational/quarantine beds/units. Results project that homeless individuals infected by COVID-19 would be twice as likely to be hospitalized, two to four times as likely to require critical care, and two to three times as likely to die than the general population.
When Crises Converge: Hospital Visits Before And After Shelter Use Among Homeless New Yorkers
Homelessness is a pervasive problem in the United States and is associated with mortality rates more than double those of the general population.1,2 Not surprisingly, prior studies have found that certain people who experience homelessness are high users of hospital-based health care and that for some there exists a “revolving door” between hospitals and homelessness.3,4 The time preceding homelessness may also be a period of high risk for hospital use.
