The current crisis of homelessness is part of a long history of trauma. “With the Inwood shelter, the Bowery Residents’ Committee and the Department of Social Services are hoping to bring attention to how the traumas of the past continue to play out in the present.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/n...

Important new article led by @maxjordan.bsky.social - shows that USMLE QBanks often present patients experiencing homelessness in ways that are stereotypical & stigmatizing. This is how med students learn —> important implications for care. We need to do a lot of work / retraining here.

Many people who exp homelessness work all day--the public just doesn't see them or recognize them. (Neighbors fought against these homeless shelters for working folks, too) Strongly recommend @brian-goldstone.bsky.social book "There is no place for us" to learn more. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/n...
