Respite care for homeless people is rapidly growing, aimed at individuals well enough to leave the hospital but too sick for the street. Its rise reflects the aging homeless population and the expansion of Medicaid, with the movement doubling since 2016 to over 165 programs.
Many respite care programs receive subsidies from hospitals and insurance companies to reduce hospital stays and readmissions. The care provides a crucial solution for homeless individuals needing post-hospitalization support.
