Arizona and the Aging Homeless Population: Preparing for the Future

Current US research reveals evidence of an aging trend in the single adult homeless population. This aging trend is centered around those that are part of the latter half of the baby-boomers born between 1954-1967, a cohort of individuals that face the highest risk for homelessness. Between 2000-2010 in Arizona there was a 32% increase in people age 65 and over. This presentation examines the trend in Arizona.
