Stable housing is healthcare. Without it, managing health is nearly impossible.
How Housing Affects Health:
- Unstable housing = chronic stress = illness
- Homelessness = exposure to violence, weather, substance use
- Poor quality housing = asthma, lead poisoning, injuries
- Unaffordable housing = skipping medications to pay rent
Housing Assistance Resources:
- Miami-Dade Public Housing Authority
- Emergency rental assistance (call 211)
- Rapid rehousing programs
- Permanent supportive housing for chronic homelessness
Medical Respite: Some programs provide temporary housing for homeless individuals recovering from illness or injury.
