For Diana Perez, a medical resident at the Family Health Center of Harlem, the handwritten thank-you note she received from a patient is all the evidence she needs that she has chosen the right training path. Perez helped the patient, a homeless, West African immigrant who has HIV and other chronic conditions, get the medications and care he needed. She also did the paperwork that documented his medical needs for the nonprofit that helped him apply for asylum and secure housing. “I really like whole-person care,” said Perez, 31, who has been based at this New York City health center for most o...

While European institutions are urging people to go out and vote, for many living on the street, this is not possible. A European group of organisations working with the homeless, Feantsa, says some 900,000 people are living rough or in temporary accommodation. Most of them are EU citizens, many of whom are barred from voting for administrative reasons. “You need to have a permanent address where you are registered, in order to vote. So, if homeless people live in temporary accommodation, or shelters, or in the streets, it is difficult for them to register at a permanent address,” says Feantsa...

Raymond Llano carries a plastic bag with everything he owns in one hand, a cup of coffee in the other, and the flattened cardboard box he uses as a bed under his arm as he waits in line for lunch at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. At 55, he hasn’t had a home for 15 years, since he lost a job at Target. Llano once tried to get on public assistance but couldn’t — something, he said, looking perplexed, about owing the state money — and he’d like to apply again. But beginning next year, if he does, he’ll face a new city requirement that single adults with no dependents who receive cash ben...

The new chief of the Social Security Administration outlined for senators Wednesday a plan to tackle overpayments and clawbacks, which affect millions of beneficiaries and, he said, have caused “grave injustices” and left people “in dire financial straits.” As a joint investigation by KFF Health News and Cox Media Group television stations reported in September, the agency has harmed people it is supposed to help by reducing or halting benefit checks to recoup billions of dollars in payments it sent them but later said they should never have received. Testifying at two Senate hearings on March...

Playa del Rey (United States) (AFP) - Tamara Hernandez moved into a recreational vehicle when her rent shot up. Beau Beard did it because he lost everything after going to prison. Stories like theirs abound in California where RVs and trailers, once a symbol of carefree living by the ocean, increasingly reflect a less glamorous slice of life in the Golden State: a housing crisis and the growing number of people without a roof over their head. A third of all the homeless people in America live in wealthy California, which if it were a country would boast the world's fifth-largest economy. In Lo...

New York (AFP) - Police were conducting a sprawling manhunt on Monday for a gunman suspected of carrying out a series of "cold-blooded" shootings of homeless men on the streets of Washington and New York. The string of attacks, which took place in the middle of the night over a period of 10 days this month, have left two men dead and three wounded. "The work to get this individual off our streets before he hurts or murders another individual is urgent," Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York Mayor Eric Adams said in a joint statement. "It is heartbreaking and tragic to know that in additi...
