Homelessness, Unsheltered Status, and Risk Factors for Mortality: Findings From the 100     000 Homes Campaign.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the need to assertively reach out to vulnerable populations and provide interventions to assist them during their transition-for example, as they exit incarceration or age out of foster care. Such a response could prevent unsheltered homelessness and thereby address increased mortality risk. Connecting people with resources to increase their access to employment, benefits, and other sources of income is especially important. PMID: 28123222 [PubMed - in process]
