Older adults who are faced with living on the streets are more at risk for developing chronic and debilitating diseases such as diabetes, heart and related respiratory diseases, and others as a result of premature aging. Sorrell, J. M. (2016). Aging on the street: Homeless older adults in America. Journal Of Psychosocial Nursing And Mental Health Services, 54(9), 25-29. doi:10.3928/02793695-20160817-04 The effects of premature aging can cause older adults who are homeless to have developed earlier illness in their life than they previously would. Often these individuals are saddled with limited or no access to proper healthcare and are faced with a cycle of living on the streets, being institutionalized or even jailed. Sorrell, J. M. (2016).

Journal Of Psychosocial Nursing And Mental Health Services, 54(9), 25-29. doi:10.3928/02793695-20160817-04 As a result of the fluctuating economy, many older adults are finding themselves at risk of homelessness. A group that was once able to live off of savings, retirements, or pensions are finding it increasingly harder to do so. Individuals aged 50–64 have little to no savings and as a result of the Great Recession of 2008 many saw a loss in the value of their property.Goldberg, J., Lang, K., & Barrington, V. (2016, April).
