SUMMARY:Homelessness and Health: An AHCJ Summit
DESCRIPTION:Housing is a health care issue. \n\n\n\nResearch leaves little doubt about the negative impact a lack of a place to call home has on people’s health. The toll on mental and emotional health is enormous\, alongside the physical harms. People experiencing homelessness are more vulnerable to becoming victims of crime\, especially women\, and more likely to experience a medical emergency. Unsurprisingly\, the life expectancy of people who are unhoused is significantly lower than for the general population. Alarms are sounding about the nation’s aging\, unhoused population. \n\n\n\nWe’re going to dig into this complicated issue at our fall summit Nov. 2-3 in Oakland\, Calif. Setting aside the politics while being mindful of the myths surrounding homelessness\, we’ll bring together experts\, journalists and people with lived experience to talk about: \n\n\n\nWhat the research shows about who is experiencing homelessness and the factors that contributed to them losing their housing.How “street teams” are addressing people’s critical health needs and providing a bridge to more sustained care.Approaches to addressing the mental and behavioral health needs of people who are unhoused.The upstream causes of homelessness and promising approaches to preventing it. \n\n\n\n\nWhat the research shows about who is experiencing homelessness and the factors that contributed to them losing their housing.\n\n\n\nHow “street teams” are addressing people’s critical health needs and providing a bridge to more sustained care.\n\n\n\nApproaches to addressing the mental and behavioral health needs of people who are unhoused.\n\n\n\nThe upstream causes of homelessness and promising approaches to preventing it.\n\n\n\n\n\nView the program\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHotelWaterfront Hotel- JDV by Hyatt10 Washington StreetOakland\, Calif. \n\n\n\nBook your hotel room in the AHCJ block here. \n\n\n\nRegistrations made after Oct. 13 will not include meals. \n\n\n\nAirThe Oakland International Airport (OAK) is a breeze to navigate and is only 8 miles from downtown Oakland.
