Homelessness carries a stigma that is often associated with a particular population or economic standing. The truth is, it can impact people from all backgrounds and walks of life. A job loss, serious illness, mental illness, child/domestic abuse, a significant life change, or a natural disaster are just a few of many the reasons people find themselves homeless. Young adults aging out of foster care (18-24) are also disproportionally affected.
Being unable to maintain personal hygiene increases their risk for all sort of communicable diseases and infections. Hepatitis, TB, HIV/AIDS, STDs/infections, scabies, head/body lice, influenza, and covid as well as other acute and chronic illnesses are seen at an increased rate in this population.
