Homelessness And Health: Factors, Evidence, and Innovations That Work
In their article in the February Housing & Health issue of Health Affairs, Cheyenna Garcia of the University of California, San Francisco, and her team of coauthors provide an overview of the relationships between homelessness and health ([link removed] ) in the United States.
Garcia and coauthors find that about 650,000 people experienced homelessness in a single night in 2023, and these people were disproportionately Black, Indigenous, Pacific Islander, and gender and sexual minorities.
The researchers document the structural and individual risk factors associated with homelessness, noting that a lack of affordable housing, having a substance use disorder, or a history of incarceration increases the risk of homelessness.
They also summarize literature about the associations between homelessness and poor health, finding that those experiencing homelessness have a higher prevalence of acute and chronic physical and mental health conditions, higher mortality rates, and elevated rates of mental health conditions.
Garcia and coauthors advocate for affordable housing and increased health-sector interventions.

Health Affairs is implementing a new word limit for journal research articles.
Beginning with submissions received on or after April 1, 2024, the word limit will change from 5,000 words, including endnotes, to 3,250, excluding endnotes.
This change will allow for a tighter focus on core empirical research elements and create shorter, more accessible content for our audience.
Research papers using both qualitative and quantitative methods will be allowed a word count of 4,000 (excluding endnotes).
For more on this change, check out a newly released article from Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
