Homelessness & Health Care
On any given day, more than 150,000 people experience homelessness in California. Being homeless is dangerous to your health: People who live on the streets die an average 20 years earlier than people who are housed. CHCF is launching work to improve the delivery of health and social services to people experiencing homelessness, with the goal of promoting care that is responsive, person-centered, and focuses on the patient’s emotional, physical, and psychological needs.
