One social driver is the poverty. According to the scenario, 28% of the population are living the below the poverty line and 37% receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, with many residents living in overcrowded transitional housing. (Western Governors University, n.d) Poor housing puts them at risk for health and safety issues. Substandard housing may have mold or lack heating and cooling systems. In addition, many are in overcrowded transitional housing which raises the risk of disease transmission and impacts relationships, mental health, stress levels, and sleep. (Healthy People 2030, n.d) Transitional housing aims to provide temporary stability and support for individuals and families facing homelessness. (Hud Exchange, n.d) An article in Medline Plus states “Poor health can contribute to homelessness. And being homeless can contribute to poor health.” (Medline Plus, n.d) Although some families are receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, poverty can lower the quality of food consumed. Families may try to stretch their benefits by buying lower quality food causing a lack of vital vitamins and minerals. This can result in malnutrition and weakened immune systems making people more vulnerable to illnesses.
