As governments recognize the high healthcare costs of homelessness, hospital discharge strategies focusing on housing-first approaches are becoming more common. Effective models of discharge planning have been developed in cities in the U.S. and the U.K., built on the understanding that housing stability is crucial for health. Homeless individuals face greater risks when discharged to unsafe situations that worsen their health. By prioritizing stable housing during discharge, hospitals can reduce long-term costs and improve health outcomes, ultimately addressing systemic health inequalities. This approach not only supports individuals but also offers financial benefits to healthcare systems.
