Housing Status Changes Associated with Cancer Outcomes Among US Veterans
In the February Housing & Health issue of Health Affairs, Hannah Decker of the University of California San Francisco and coauthors investigate all-cause mortality risks among veterans ([link removed] ) who received a diagnosis of lung, colorectal, or breast cancer between 2011–20.
They determine that those veterans that were continuously housed or gained housing had better survival rates than those who were consistently unhoused.
To learn more about their findings, watch a video abstract ([link removed] ) featuring author Hannah Decker.

Temporary Financial Assistance Reduced Probability of Unstable Housing For Veterans
Also in the issue, Alec Chapman of the University of Utah and coauthors examine the effects of temporary financial assistance ([link removed] ) received through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program.
The authors find that among veterans included in the study, the assistance reduced the probability of unstable housing for slightly more than one year, but this effect diminished after forty-five days.
To dive even further into this study, check out Alec Chapman's presentation ([link removed] ) from our Housing and Health theme issue briefing.
