Health care services like preventive care, medication, primary care physicians and many other services can be difficult to access for people who are experiencing homelessness, especially our youth. This is often because they lack insurance or have difficulty engaging health care providers in the community.
As stated by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, people living in shelters are more than twice as likely to have a disability compared to the general population. On a given night in 2017, 20 percent of the homeless population reported having a serious mental illness, 16 percent conditions related to chronic substance abuse, and more than 10,000 people had HIV/AIDS.
It is not always easy to find the resources that you may need for any health related issue, so this reference page will be a great start. When contacting any of these amazing organizations be sure to let them know you have received their information from Plymouth Crossroads, and they will be sure to take care of you.
