As Prescribed: Homelessness is on the rise for baby boomers

When Dr. Margot Kushel, a professor of medicine and director of the Center for Vulnerable Populations and Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative at UCSF, set out with her colleagues to study homelessness, they made an interesting discovery.

“We found that, of those who were 50 and older and homeless, 44% had never been homeless, not even for one day before the age of 50,” she said on the latest episode of “As Prescribed” with KCBS Radio’s Alice Wertz.
