Housing

Safe and affordable housing is important to the well-being and health of families. Without proper housing, families have trouble managing their daily lives and their emotional and physical health suffers. For homeless patients, properly storing medication, maintaining a healthy diet and consistently going to the doctor are difficult to do when they are spending a good deal of time trying to find a place to sleep every night. Stable housing makes consistent health care and support possible. Healthcare and social service providers can follow up with clients more easily when they know where patients live and how to contact them.
