Description
Anthony Traver and Holly Dabelko-Schoeny study, in 2023, the housing older adults live in before, during, and after homelessness late in life. The team partnered with a shelter, a meal site, and a mental health outreach team in Columbus, Ohio. Twenty-two older adults and nine service providers were interviewed.
Low or no income pushed people through shared housing, doubling up, shelters, and rough sleeping. Conflict, the death of a support person, rent rises, and isolation drove people downward. Poor housing worsened health and exposed people to harm. Ties with others, shelter services, and housing vouchers helped some find stable homes again.
