Adding to this article

There is very limited data on the elderly homeless population in the United States on Wikipedia and researchers are just now conducting research on this topic. Adding to this topic I potentially would want to discuss risk factors associated with the older homeless population and the health factors that impact the lives of older adults who are homeless. Below are some of the references I plan to use in adding information to this article. Any advice is welcome in helping me add to this article. Solcsydney (talk) 16:15, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing that I have added to this article is the section called health factors which will include information regarding homelessness and aging health factors. Solcsydney (talk) 14:05, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
