Description

Anita Souza and Jenny Tsai frame a 2024 symposium on the health needs of older adults who lack stable housing. Adults over 50 are the fastest-growing group among people without homes, and many reach shelters with long-untreated illness plus the wear of years on the street.

One talk sorts shelter records to find hidden subgroups with shared needs. A second covers care given inside a low-barrier hotel shelter for guests with complex needs. A third reports what blocks mental health care for older adults in long-term supportive housing. Readers see both the scale of unmet need and field-tested ways that housing services can bring care to where people stay.
