Abstract

Homeless and vulnerably housed individuals include those who have an absence of stable, permanent housing and who have limited means of obtaining housing to mitigate this need. Persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) are disproportionately impacted by both communicable and non-communicable disease, serious and persistent mental illness, and trauma, which contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Trauma-informed care is vital since individuals experiencing homelessness have a higher prevalence of adverse childhood experiences as well as ongoing experiences of trauma and toxic stress. Multicomponent interventions with coordinated care are most effective and should include both health and social services. Housing First is an established intervention that provides individuals with housing and subsequently attempts engagement in mental health and other services. A “whole community” approach to the COVID-19 pandemic has involved connecting key community partners and identifying sites and coordinating resources for PEH.
