A new study by researchers at Boston Medical Center found that housing instability significantly affects the mental and physical health of family members of all ages.
"The study found caregivers of young children in low-income unstable housing are subjected to significant negative health effects, becoming two times more likely than those in stable housing to be in fair or poor health, and almost three times more likely to report depressive symptoms. Children aged four and under in these families had almost a 20 percent increased risk of hospitalization, and over a 25 percent increased risk of developmental delays."
A stable home is crucial for health and success, especially for kids!
