Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field. 606 $aHomelessness$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPoor$xMedical care$zUnited States 615 0$aHomelessness$xHealth aspects 615 0$aPoor$xMedical care 676 $a362.1/08806942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953539903321 996 $aHomelessness, health, and human needs$94367568 997 $aUNINA
