  • Description:
    The Centers of Excellence in Public Health and Homelessness Toolkit for State and Local Health Departments is designed to assist health departments and other public health organizations in their efforts to support public health for people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in their jurisdictions. This toolkit provides tools, templates, program blueprints and strategies to assist health departments in understanding, planning and implementing program activities and objectives.

    People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are disproportionately affected by a multitude of infectious diseases, ranging from HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis A and C to invasive bacterial diseases such as severe streptococcal disease. Homeless shelters across the country have experienced multiple COVID-19 outbreaks. PEH are also at an increased risk for a spectrum of non-infectious diseases, including heart disease, lung disease and mental illness. Based on this increased susceptibility for negative health outcomes, there is a critical need to develop appropriate, targeted public health interventions to address infectious and non-infectious health risks in this population. To address these public health challenges, health departments, federal agencies, homeless service providers and healthcare providers can employ a variety of tools and strategies in the following domains: strengthening partnerships, promoting health equity, engaging and empowering people experiencing homelessness, identifying and prioritizing infectious disease needs and improving data systems.
