This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.
Download or read book Homelessness Health and Human Needs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the methodologies of current population estimates of the number of homeless chronically mentally ill persons to: (1) determine the soundness of current estimates; and (2) identify the best available methods for getting sound estimates. GAO found that: (1) although there were no sound national estimates of the number of homeless persons who were chronically mentally ill, there were some relatively sound local estimates on both homeless persons and the chronically mentally ill; (2) while the estimates would not apply nationally, the methods used were applicable on a larger scale; (3) many of the estimates had methodological flaws associated with a high degree of uncertainty or bias that could lead to underestimates or overestimates; (4) of the 10 studies that GAO rated technically sound, 9 were based on surveys or censes and one was based on utilization data; (5) the rates of homelessness ranged between 6 and 95 per 10,000 in the study communities and were related to the quality of methodology; (6) analysis of a methodology judged to be of a higher quality lowered the range by almost half; (7) the proportion of homeless persons identified as mentally ill was between one-fifth and one-third, in the judgment of service providers, and between one-sixth and one-half using standardized instruments; and (8) because the definition of homelessness varies and homelessness itself could contribute to behavior and appearances that suggest mental illness, counting homeless mentally ill persons is never entirely precise.
