Could medical respite programs be the key to closing the health care to homelessness pipeline? "We live in a country where not everyone believes that access to health care is a human right; not everyone believes that access to housing is a human right; not everyone believes that housing is health care. And I think that those three things are linked together and are some of the important ingredients to have when closing the hospital to homelessness pipeline,” says Devora Keller of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council. Learn how medical respite programs are transforming care for unhoused people by offering them a safe and secure place to heal. https://lnkd.in/eS5qagRE #MedicalRespitePrograms #HealthCareForAll #HousingIsHealth

Engaging community and building relationships for individual, communal, and global welfare. Mental health and housing for all advocate.
A couple quotes from a great read: “The human toll of homelessness is immense. People who are chronically unhoused live half as long as those who are housed, experience accelerated aging, have many more comorbidities, and develop health conditions at a much younger age than those who are housed.” “The rapid growth of unhoused populations in Canada is a consequence of policy decisions. In 1974, more than one-fifth of all housing options were social housing or nonmarket homes, which helped ensure affordability for people living with low incomes. Now, however, social housing is less than 4% of the total housing supply, and rents are soaring across the country.” #housing is #healthcare, housing is the cure for #homelessness
The cure for homelessness is housing. We wrote this editorial as physicians encountering the pathologies of poverty from primary care to the emergency department to palliative care. There is no universal health care without housing for all. https://lnkd.in/gyfdQB-s

Housing is health care. Without stable, safe housing, health outcomes decline drastically. The Council and our members see the devastating effects of homelessness on health every day. On this #WorldHomelessDay, let’s recognize that access to health care and housing are fundamental human rights. Since 1986, we have brought together thousands of health care professionals, medical respite care providers, people with lived experience of homelessness, and advocates to build a high-quality health care system through training, research, and advocacy in the movement to end homelessness. We've made great strides together, but there is still much work to be done as we navigate regressive state and federal policies, a nationwide housing crisis, climate inaction, and other challenges. It's all hands on deck now. Join our fight for equitable, compassionate healthcare and housing solutions for all by becoming a Council member here: https://lnkd.in/g997tYjC #HousingIsHealthcare #JusticeInHealth #HealthEquity #EndHomelessness

Tomorrow, on 1/9, the Board of Supervisors will vote on whether the county will create a new recuperative care center. There are several proposals that will be brought forth and we need your support to make sure recuperative care passes. The first question you might ask is, "What is recuperative care?" Recuperative care is a place where homeless individuals with high medical and behavioral health needs can recover and find stable housing. The second question you might ask is, "Why do we need another recuperative care center?" At our Turk Recuperative Care Center we have seen 74% of clients transitioning to stable housing. Meanwhile, in San Diego County alone, 1,135 people became homeless for the first time in the month of November. Recuperative care centers provide people with a place to heal and access available resources. The question shouldn’t be whether we need another center, but rather, how do we build several. Join us together tomorrow in advocating for our most vulnerable. Below are a few ways to make an impact. Submit an e-comment supporting more recuperative care beds: https://shorturl.at/mEGKV Advocate by phone on January 9th to show support: https://shorturl.at/bnyLP Show up in-person on January 9th at 9:00am at the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 310, San Diego, CA 92101 Submit a letter of support to publiccomment@sdcounty.ca.gov before January 9th

Housing instability can contribute to long-term mental health disorders and exacerbate chronic conditions, compromising long term health. Further, these impacts are disproportionately felt among Black Americans. Research from the Elevance Health Public Policy Institute suggests that Medicaid health plans can invest in housing interventions and partnerships to equitably improve these housing outcomes, highlighting positive outcomes from an Elevance Health affiliated Medicaid plan in Nevada. https://ow.ly/utQ930sC2IJ
