Who becomes homeless because of unemployment and what they need are poorly understood. Methods . Four-year time-series study. Homeless characteristics, co-morbid conditions, and needs are correlated with unemployment rates. Results . The unemployment rate averaged 6.7% during years 1\u20132 (N=198) and 11.8% during years 3\u20134 (N=202). Those presenting during high unemployment worked most recently in clerical positions (10.4% vs . 4.5%, p= .02) and reported unemployment (OR=2.0; 95% CI; 1.07, 3.76) and unaffordable housing (28.7% vs . 15.2%; p&lt;.01) causing homelessness. Those reporting unemployment were more likely to be local residents (OR=2.1; CI=1.01, 4.53), but less likely to have family support (OR=0.4; CI=0.19, 0.87). While comparable proportions reported mental health conditions and received care, more high unemployment individuals reported needing additional care (59.9% vs . 42.9%; p&lt;.001) and that this was necessary for leaving homelessness (58.9% vs . 44.1%; p=.05). Conclusions . High unemployment expands the population vulnerable to homelessness and influences health care needs and social needs.\n\t<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1353\/hpu.2013.0150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,25]],"date-time":"2013-08-25T09:00:46Z","timestamp":1377421246000},"page":"1391-1402","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Losing Work: Regional Unemployment and its Effect on Homeless Demographic Characteristics, Needs, and Health Care"],"prefix":"10.1353","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Colin","family":"Burke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erin E.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Bourgault","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Borgia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas P.","family":"O\u2019Toole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"147","container-title":["Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,21]],"date-time":"2024-01-21T16:51:22Z","timestamp":1705855882000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/519288"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,8]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,8]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1353\/hpu.2013.0150","relation":{},"ISSN":["1548-6869"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1548-6869","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,8]]}}}
