The role of emergency housing is crucial in preventing the spiraling of further economic and health hardship that can impact someone if they become homeless. Emergency housing may be temporary, but it gives someone the immediate ability to remain housed and safely sheltered. Once someone becomes homeless, their mental and physical health is likely to suffer. A younger homeless population, for example, faces the same or more health issues than older adults who have remained housed.
The reasons an older American might need emergency housing are also plentiful. Renters may face removal from their homes when owners place properties on the market to take advantage of rising housing prices. Some seniors may have chronic health issues that keep them from working and saving enough for the expenses of retirement and older age. They may not have the support of close family or friends, meaning they have no one to stay with if they’re evicted from rental homes or their home is foreclosed on due to an inability to pay their mortgage.
In this guide, we’ve provided detailed information on emergency housing resources for older adults and seniors across the United States

Understanding Barriers to COVID-19 Testing.
Researchers used funding from the NIH-supported RADx-UP program to better understand barriers in underserved communities – rural and urban, as well as racial and ethnic minority populations – in Kansas. The most commonly reported barrier was fear of lost income or employment resulting from quarantine. Common barriers reported in both rural and urban communities were access issues, such as lack of transportation and lack of support for languages other than English. Three subthemes appeared to be dominant in rural counties. Under the theme of “political beliefs,” the subtheme “politicization of COVID-19 mitigation and response efforts” was an identified barrier for most rural counties. See Approaching Deadlines below for a RADx-UP opportunity that closes in January.

Alcohol Rehab & Detox in Columbus
Alcohol addiction is a disease that few people expect themselves to develop, yet many do. A person may believe they feel happier, less stressed and more fun when they drink, so they start using alcohol to cope with negative feelings. Eventually, their mind will start to crave the substance, and their body will depend on it to function. It can progress to the point where a person may be in physical and mental pain if there isn’t alcohol in their system.
Hundreds of thousands of Ohioans struggle with alcohol addiction every year. Nearly 531,000 residents had an alcohol use disorder (AUD) in 2017; of these, around 494,000 needed treatment but did not receive it. Addiction is a treatable condition, and recovery is possible. However, it requires a first step that’s difficult for many people: reaching out for help.
