Advocacy efforts are making a difference in miami homless

  You comented:  [In Miami, Florida, homelessness hit the lowest level ever, and there were only 919 unsheltered homeless in August 2021 (Teaford, 2021). While the population is low, it does not mean that homelessness is insignificant. It is a severe determinant of health, as homeless people are pre-disposed to poor health outcomes because of their surroundings. Homeless people also lack the necessary resources necessary for self-care, which makes them more vulnerable to diseases. ]
