Housing Instability Patterns Among Low-Income, Urban Black Young Adults in California and Associations With Mental Health Outcomes: Baseline Data From a Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial
Deep-rooted racial residential segregation and housing discrimination have given rise to housing disparities among low-income Black young adults in the US. In this study, researchers aimed to illuminate the multiple forms of housing instability that Black young adults contend with and examine relationships between housing instability and mental health outcomes. They found that the high prevalence of housing instability and mental health challenges among low-income Black young adults require tailored interventions to reduce instability, given widening racial disparities and implications for future well-being into adulthood.
