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.
