Spiritual Supports for Formerly Unhoused US Veterans
Retaining HUD-Vash housing
Introduction: Permanent supportive housing programs, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH), are a highly important intervention to address homelessness among Veterans. Unsheltered Veterans are a priority population for HUD-VASH because this group is especially vulnerable and may face higher risk of exit from HUD-VASH. Method: We developed a 6-year retrospective (2012–2018) longi…
Providers' reflections on infrastructure and improvements to promote access to care for Veterans experiencing housing instability in rural areas of the United States
Veterans in rural areas of the United States face barriers to accessing healthcare and other services, which are intensified for those experiencing housing instability. Recent legislative acts have the potential to address obstacles faced by rural patients in the U.S. This study explores how infrastructure-including features related to the physical and digital environment-impacts the ability of rural Veterans experiencing housing instability to a…

The United States desperately needs to train a workforce to confront this large and growing crisis, but few health professional schools curren…
Housing Boston’s Chronically Homeless Unsheltered Population
OBJECTIVE: The long-term outcomes of permanent supportive housing for chronically unsheltered individuals, or rough sleepers, are largely unknown. We therefore assessed housing outcomes for a group of unsheltered individuals who were housed directly from the streets after living outside for decades. METHODS: Using an open-cohort design, 73 chronically unsheltered individuals were enrolled and housed in permanent supportive housing directly from t…
Predictors of Nursing Home Admission Among a Cohort of Homeless Older Adults Entering Emergency Shelter
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the extent and timing of nursing home admissions among older adults who had their first visit at an emergency shelter or re-entered after an extended absence. We assessed the relationships between demographic characteristics, health and behavioral health conditions, and health services utilization measures and the risk of nursing home admission. METHODS: We linked administrative data from the emergency shelter syste…
Mortality Among Unsheltered Homeless Adults in Boston, Massachusetts, 2000-2009
Importance: Previous studies have shown high mortality rates among homeless people in general, but little is known about the patterns of mortality among "rough sleepers," the subgroup of unsheltered urban homeless people who avoid emergency shelters and primarily sleep outside. Objectives: To assess the mortality rates and causes of death for a cohort of unsheltered homeless adults from Boston, Massachusetts. Design, Setting, and Participants: A …
