Description
Percent of all patients of the health center who are homeless. Homeless patients are defined as patients who lack housing at any point in the year (without regard to whether the individual is a member of a family), including individuals whose primary residence during the night is a supervised public or private facility that provides temporary living accommodations and individuals who reside in transitional housing or permanent supportive housing. This is counted by all health centers regardless of whether they receive Health Care for the Homeless grants.
