Project Objectives
Its primary objectives are to provide housing and healthcare for those who need it in Florida, as well as to make Florida more accessible to people with mental health issues. Lim and colleagues. According to Lim and colleagues (2018), an increase of hospital visits is associated with homelessness. This could be avoided if one has good mental health. Because of the financial constraints that accompany homelessness, it can be difficult for those affected to access primary care. They must also cover basic needs such as housing and food. Individuals also face non-financial barriers such as isolation and lack of confidence in their medical practitioners, prejudice, and financial limitations. 2018). Florida’s homeless are prevented from accessing healthcare.
Secure shelter is the second goal of the initiative. Kuehn (2018) believes that providing permanent housing for homeless people will allow them to take control of their own lives. A permanent residence can solve problems that were impossible without having a roof to cover their heads. This includes getting a checkup and taking medication. Chicago’s Better Health Through Housing program is an example. Research has shown that sheltering homeless people in secure housing improves their quality of life and health.
Statistic
It is associated strongly with low mental and physical well-being, higher healthcare needs, and homelessness. These people are often in constant relocation or owing rent arrears. Pre-homelessness, the characteristics of uncertainty are linked to adverse outcomes in health, education, and the necessity for treatment. Bovell Ammon and colleagues. According to Bovell-Ammon et al. (2020), homeless children who have mental illness are three times more likely than those without. Initiatives should be taken to improve housing security and health. Many studies on people living on the streets show the value of supportive housing for eradicating homelessness and increasing medical expenses (Lim and al. 2018). Because it removes significant uncertainty from people living on the streets, there is a clear relationship between those who live in secure housing and those who are homeless.
The basic thesis
It is based on the idea that people living in poverty can improve their mental health through increased access to healthcare and better housing.
Medically vulnerable people are the ones who have to live without a source of income. Their mortality rates tend to be higher than that of the population as a whole. Khatana, et. al. Khatana et al. (2020) state that the burden of mental illnesses increases the group’s vulnerability, and the financial barriers that prevent them from receiving adequate treatment can also increase their difficulty. American has increased investment in healthcare access and health care services to increase accessibility (Khatana and co., 2020). In spite of this, the rate at which hospitalizations occur has increased from 20% to 50% in the past decade. To assist state and local officials in developing strategies that will improve care for homeless persons, it is important to distinguish between readmissions. In mitigating homeless challenges, public policies can play an important role. It is necessary to modify Medicaid eligibility requirements in order to make it more accommodating for the homeless.
