Description
Thomas Byrne and six co-authors present a 2024 study asking whether a birth cohort effect still shapes adult homelessness in the United States. Homelessness among older adults is rising. Past census work found that people born between 1955 and 1965 have made up an outsized share of single adult homelessness since the 1980s.
Whether that pattern held past 2010 was unknown. Using newer data, the team shows the effect persists through 2020. A wave of over sixty five homelessness is now emerging from the same cohort. The authors warn that aging plus complex health needs will press hard on health and social services in the years ahead.
