Another often missed health problem is histories of trauma and head injury. In my work assisting adults who are homeless and who have mental illness, I see a real need for much more thorough assessments of individuals. I’d be delighted to be any part of such an effort. And, of course, families and young children are an increasing group of the population of folks who are homeless. Thank you.

The Statewide Homeless/HIV Integration Project (SH/HIP)works with homeless service providers to integrate HIV/AIDS education, assessment, services and referrals into homeless services.
We partner with homeless shelters and other health and human service providers who work with people experiencing homelessness to identify activities they could undertake to support their guests (and program participants, patients or clients) around HIV/AIDS related issues. We offer training, resources and technical assistance to support their work.

Thank you for the information. I see here daily in Cincinnati, Ohio, homelessness and wonder about the deeper impact of bad health that comes associated with different individuals. The article was very informative.
I am a student at the University of Maryland University College, Receiving a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration/MBA.
I am interesed in networking, and networking information as I start a small non-profit organization for the homeless.
Sincrely,
Roslyn Love

I would like to thank you for speaking out on a subject that I have been trying to get people to see and understand for quite some time.
My name is Sharon Ayala and I am a Ph.D. student in Public Health at Walden University. One of my reports for this quarter was about mental health issues in South Carolina; homelessness among those individuals with mental issues, especially the children. Suicide is on the rise and there seems to be not enough caring about what the future holds.
At this particular time, I would be very interested in seeing how I could be involved with your perspective on public health and homelessness. I look forward to hearing more from you on this issue and others.
Again, thanks for the disseminating information about this topic.
