Estimates from Arizona indicate that over 10,000 individuals experience homelessness on any given night, with the COVID-19 pandemic and high housing prices exacerbating housing insecurity. People experiencing homelessness have a multitude of physical and mental health inequities compared to stably housed individuals, including increased susceptibility to infectious disease and higher rates of chronic disease, serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and overall mortality. Homelessness is an urgent health and human rights issue across the state, with most research and resources focused on urban areas.<\/p>\n
Study Aims<\/b><\/p>\n\nDescribe the cross-sectional association between shelter type and healthcare access, healthcare use, and health outcomes among adults experiencing homelessness in northern Arizona.<\/li>\nDescribe barriers and facilitators to establishing non-congregate shelters for adult experiencing homelessness in northern Arizona and the health impacts of non-congregate shelter use for individuals experiencing homelessness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis study uses a mixed methods approach to investigate how shelter type (unsheltered\/ nomadic, congregate shelter, and non-congregate shelter) impacts healthcare access, healthcare use, and health outcomes for adults experiencing homelessness in Northern Arizona\u2014 with a focus on tribal, rural, and border communities. We collect primary data via questionnaire with people who are currently experiencing homelessness, complete interview and\/or focus groups with community stakeholders and people with lived homelessness experience and use statewide secondary data sources to better understand the relationship between emergency shelter type and Medicaid enrollment and use.
