New York, NY — NYC Health + Hospitals today announced that more than 1,100 patients participated in the medical respite program, which offers patients experiencing homelessness a place to stay for up to 90 days while accessing expanded medical services that are not available in shelter, as part of its Housing for Health initiative. Seventy five percent completed their medical respite stay, and nearly 300 patients were discharged from respite into more stable housing, including supportive, affordable and market housing, reuniting with their families, and assisted living placement.
