Childhood Housing Assistance Linked to Better Health Decades Later
Original: Childhood Housing Assistance Linked to Better Health Decades Later, Children's Mercy Study Finds
Researchers at Children's Mercy report that children who received housing assistance showed better health outcomes decades later. The findings, announced by the Kansas City-based pediatric health system, add to evidence that stable housing in childhood has long-term effects on adult wellbeing. The study is drawing attention from health and housing policy observers interested in the lasting benefits of early support programs.
Why now: New research from Children's Mercy linking childhood housing assistance to long-term adult health outcomes is drawing interest for its policy implications.
