Data on Homelessness Among African-American Veterans
At a workshop that organized by the National Coalition on Homeless Veterans, the Alliance's M William Sermons, Director of the Homelessness Research Institute at the Alliance, presented data that show that African Americans are overrepresented among the homeless veteran population.
As illustrated in the Alliance’s most recent report on homelessness among veterans, while African American veterans make up 10 - 11 percent of the veteran population, they make up 45 percent of the homeless veteran population.
Homelessness Among African American Veterens
Presentation given by M William Sermons at the 2010 National Coalition for Homeless Veterans conference.
Race african americans
For many years, African Americans have faced racism through racial profiling by police and economic hardship. They have higher poverty rates than white Americans and suffer social disadvantages. After Hurricane Katrina, African Americans were left in devastated, segregated areas of New Orleans with little help. Research shows growing economic gaps between African Americans and other races, with African Americans more likely to have lower incomes and lack education opportunities. According to statistics, African Americans also have higher incarceration and homicide rates than other races.
Latino Rates in Pennsylvania’s Uninsured
The document discusses health insurance rates and demographics in Pennsylvania counties. It analyzes data from the US Census Bureau and other sources, finding that while Latino populations increased substantially in some counties from 2000-2010, the change in uninsured rates for those counties was statistically insignificant. An analysis of various county health and demographic variables also found little correlation between Latino population percentages and uninsured rates at the county level in Pennsylvania.
Acspc 027765
This document provides cancer statistics for African Americans, including information on leading cancer sites, death rates, and risk factors. Some key points:
- Cancer remains a leading cause of death for African Americans, though overall racial disparities are decreasing.
- Lung cancer is the top cause of cancer death in African American males and females. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in African American males.
- African Americans have higher cancer death rates than whites for most major cancers, due in part to socioeconomic inequalities that impact access to care and screening.
religion and rights of LGBT community
The document discusses issues facing the LGBT community and proposals for solutions. It outlines the historical struggles of the LGBT community to gain equality and protections, including not being allowed in the military until 2010 and struggles with same-sex marriage. It also describes current problems like rising hate crimes and discrimination faced in many aspects of life. Specifically, it notes that while 72% of Americans support protections, many states still lack laws prohibiting workplace or housing discrimination. The proposal suggests that education about LGBT people could help change personal views and influence state laws to provide equal rights and protections across all states.
CommunityNeedsSelection
This document summarizes health data and outcomes for Polk County, Florida and identifies disparities. It finds that Polk County generally performs worse than the state and region on metrics like unemployment, high school and college graduation rates, poverty, and certain health outcomes. It highlights disparities between racial/ethnic groups in Polk County for many health metrics like cancer rates, diabetes, infant mortality, and more. In conclusion, it notes that while some health outcomes are improving in Polk County, priorities remain in addressing identified disparities and ongoing needs.
Aging Veterans: Health Outcomes and Considerations for Care
As veterans get older, they may exhibit military-related primary and mental health issues in concert with typical age-related stressors such as retirement, bereavement, and physical decline. Research shows older veterans are pre-disposed and have early onset for a variety of health issues impacted by their military service-related injuries. While Vietnam veterans age, we must prepare to treat a host of issues associated with the neglect and lack of services they've received.
Our first presenter, Amy Fairweather, Director of the Institute for Veteran Policy at Swords to Plowshares will cover the demographics of aging veterans and health outcomes related to military service. Michael Blecker, Executive Director at Swords to Plowshares will cover the Vietnam Generation and the legacy of neglect. Finally, Janice Yee, Geriatrics Specialist at Swords will cover housing and clinical outcomes of aging veterans from a community perspective.

November 2021 Public Health Snapshot
The document provides an overview of public health trends in metro Atlanta in 2021. It discusses COVID-19 death rates compared to heart disease and influenza, increases in homicide and opioid death rates in 2020 that were not evenly experienced across populations, and modest improvements in fetal and infant mortality rates though disparities remain for black mothers. It also notes that metro Atlanta counties continue to rank highly in health outcomes and factors compared to other Georgia counties according to the County Health Rankings.
Mississippi
Mississippi has a population of around 3 million people, with Jackson as its capital city. It has a majority white population of 61.4% and a black population of 36.3%. While it has recently voted Republican in presidential elections, citizens still identify with some Democratic ideals locally. Mississippi was once the 5th wealthiest state due to cotton plantations and slavery but became much poorer after the Civil War. It remains one of the poorest states today but has seen economic growth in industries like casinos.
NYC, Race, Covid-19 [timestamp Jun 12, 2020]
As participants in the racial justice movement, my team and I feel compelled to democratize and build upon the work that we have done over time for philanthropy engagements.
NYC felt like a good place to start. It's my home, an epicenter of covid-19, and certainly no stranger to systemic racism.
Attached analysis, the first of many I hope, is not designed to be comprehensive, nor is it new information. It’s a snapshot; a reminder; an imperfect effort to play a part, however small, in advancing the anti-racism movement. It's built upon publicly available information and it belongs to the public. Feel free to use any of the data in your work. Meanwhile I welcome your thoughts, direction, content, ideas, resources, collaboration, all of the above. #justice #antiracism
Gun violence in the united states by state
Enrique Vargas analizará la función de las armas en una sociedad, desde la antigüedad hasta los tiempos modernos. Apoyándose en estadísticas y casos concretos, examinará cómo influye el acceso a las armas en el índice de criminalidad de los países. También comparará la diferente regulación de las armas en Europa y en los Estados Unidos y la distinta relación entre Estado e individuo que de ella se desprende.
Enrique Vargas Molina es musicólogo y músico. Ha sido entrenador de tiro de arma corta certificado por la National Rifle Association de los Estados Unidos durante más de 20 años, a lo largo de los cuales ha entrenado a cientos de alumnos.
Alcohol And Tobacco Facts
Alcohol and tobacco use cause significant harm. 65 people die daily in alcohol-related car crashes, and long-term heavy drinking is a leading cause of liver disease deaths. 95% of alcoholics die from their disease on average 26 years earlier than expected. Secondhand smoke causes 38,000 annual deaths, while 19.8% of adults and some students use cigarettes or smokeless tobacco despite health risks.
HIV AIDS in African American Women
This document discusses HIV/AIDS disparities among African Americans in Massachusetts. It finds that African Americans have disproportionately high rates of HIV infection and AIDS-related mortality compared to other groups. Some of the key reasons for these disparities discussed are lack of awareness about HIV/AIDS in the community, poverty, lack of access to healthcare, higher rates of other sexually transmitted infections, and higher rates of imprisonment of African American men. The document also provides basic information about HIV/AIDS transmission, symptoms, and treatment options.
2015 Alzheimers Disease Facts and Figures (1)
This document provides facts and figures about Alzheimer's disease in 2015 in the United States. It states that Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death and the only top 10 cause that cannot be prevented, cured, or slowed down. Every 67 seconds someone develops the disease, with almost two thirds of cases affecting women. However, only 45% of those with Alzheimer's or their caregivers report being told the diagnosis, compared to over 90% for the four most common cancers. The growing prevalence of Alzheimer's is also expected to dramatically increase costs associated with the disease from $226 billion in 2015 to a potential $1.1 trillion by 2050.

1.10 New Research on Homelessness among Veterans
This document summarizes several presentations and research studies on homelessness among veterans. It discusses findings from the 2009 Annual Homeless Assessment Report that estimated 149,635 homeless veterans annually and 75,609 on a given night. Research found veterans were more likely than non-veterans to be older, male, white, and disabled. Younger veterans, women, and African American/Hispanic veterans faced higher risks. Additional studies examined factors associated with variation in veteran homelessness across communities and found housing, health, economic, criminal justice and social factors were significant predictors. Multisite research estimated 13.6% of the homeless population and 1% of all veterans were homeless, with risks higher for certain groups. About 15% of
Are Social Injustice and Racism Killing People on a Grand Scale?
This document discusses how social injustices and racism can negatively impact health outcomes on a large scale globally. It outlines the top social determinants of health such as low social status, stress, social exclusion, and lack of access to resources. The document shows data on inequalities in life expectancy between countries and within the US based on social factors like education, income, housing, community, race, and economic conditions. It calls for recognizing the role of public policy and social determinants in shaping health outcomes and reducing inequalities.
BASELINE COUNTRY ASSESSMENT ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
This document provides a baseline assessment of gender-based violence in Jamaica. It outlines the research objectives, which include documenting prevalence and nature of violence against women, the legal framework, main stakeholders, and capacity gaps. The methodology includes a review of secondary data and primary data collection through focus groups and interviews. Key findings include high reported levels of domestic violence, rape, and missing persons. Several government ministries and civil society organizations work to address gender-based violence, but there are gaps in coordination and resources that hinder effective responses.
Ethnicity of Health and Inequalities 420
The document discusses health inequalities between ethnic groups. It notes that health issues are more serious for some ethnic minorities, especially blacks, who are more likely to experience poorer health outcomes and die younger than whites. Key factors that contribute to health differences include lifestyle, socioeconomic status, housing conditions, and rates of diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and hypertension. Overall, the document examines data showing inequalities in health statuses and top causes of death between ethnic groups in both the UK and US.
Deepening Racialized Inequality In Ontario Selected Quotes And References (...
The document discusses several reports highlighting racial disparities related to poverty and social outcomes in Canada. Several reports found disproportionately high rates of poverty among racialized groups, including one in two African children and one in three Arab/West Asian children living in poverty. Racialized groups also experienced higher unemployment, lower incomes, greater living in poor neighborhoods. The reports call for governments to do more to address systemic racism and racial inequities through strategies like developing equity frameworks, collecting race-based data, and ensuring diversity among public institution staff.

Veterans by the numbers
This document discusses facts and issues related to US veterans. It notes that only 1% of the population has served in the military since 9/11 compared to 21% in WWII. Many veterans face unemployment or underemployment when leaving the military. However, veteran-owned businesses employ over 5 million people and generate $1.2 trillion in sales annually. The document calls for welcoming veterans home and addressing problems like unemployment, lack of support programs, and PTSD, rather than just creating more policies and agencies. There are already over 30,000 non-profits that want to help veterans.
2.11 Serving Homeless Veterans 101
The document summarizes key facts about homelessness among veterans in the United States:
- On a single night in January 2009, there were approximately 75,000 homeless veterans, with over 43,000 in shelters and 32,000 unsheltered. In 2009, about 136,000 veterans spent at least one night in emergency shelter.
- The typical homeless veteran is male, white, between 31-50 years old, and disabled. Veterans are overrepresented among the homeless population relative to their percentage of the general population.
- Permanent supportive housing using a Housing First approach is the most effective solution for chronic homelessness among veterans. It provides stable, affordable housing and supportive services to help veterans maintain housing stability.
Beyond Post-Racialism, Toward Opportunity and Social Justice
Beyond Post-Racialism, Toward Opportunity and Social Justice Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses issues of racial inequality and opportunity in Detroit and beyond. It argues that while some see Obama's election as signifying a post-racial era, racial disparities persist and disadvantage marginalized groups. Specifically, foreclosures have disproportionately impacted black and Latino communities. The document calls for a focus on targeted universalism, coalition building, and empowering community organizations like MOSES to promote social justice and equal opportunity.Social Equity in the Piedmont Triad
This document discusses the importance of social equity in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. It notes that the region's population is becoming more racially diverse, with decreases in the white population and increases in other racial groups between 2010-2040. Census data on indicators like poverty, education, unemployment, and vehicle access reveal racial disparities, with minority populations faring worse on these measures. The data is analyzed at the levels of race, age, and location to identify vulnerable groups and neighborhoods. Regional GIS data is also used to examine equity-related issues like access to jobs, parks, and services. The overall purpose is to conduct equity assessments that can inform more inclusive regional planning and decision-making.
Does race matterpp
This document discusses racial inequalities in the United States in several areas such as education, healthcare, employment, criminal justice, and interracial marriage. It provides statistics showing minorities face discrimination and disadvantages compared to whites. For example, minorities are more likely to be suspended from school and receive harsher criminal sentences than whites. The data suggests a pattern of systemic racism exists in America.

Comparing Blacks and White
Bindusree Polineni
BADM-700
Introduction
African Americans and whites compare differently.
There are one of the most dominant races in any community in America.
Even where I come from, African Americans and Whites are the most dominant racial groups, and hence there is so much data available to study the two.
Races and cultures have always been different. The culture that people of certain races embrace is always different from the culture embraced by people of different races. When people of different races live together, they merge their cultures, and some items are likely to be compromised. However, there are areas where the gap of racial differences widens and proves hard to seal. A good example is a comparison of whites and black in America and how they compare in different areas.
2
Areas of Differences
Some of the most dominant areas where these two groups compare differently are:
Access to Medicare
Income
Poverty rate
Unemployment
Divorce rate
The way people access Medicare differs significantly and not just between white Americas and black Americans. This applies to everyone in America. Race is correlated to access to healthcare in different ways. Income is also correlated to race and a person's social identity in the United States. These are the factor that affects employment and other job-related attributes like poverty.

Statistical Differences on Access to Medicare
Statically, more whites have higher access to Medicare than African Americans. To put this into perception, white has 72% higher accessibility than African American. This implies that the government's subsidies to support Medicare are more accessible to whites than to blacks. This could be why whites enjoy better healthcare than their black counterparts.

Statistical Differences on Income
KFF, (2019).
Income is the second area where black and whites compare significantly differently. As you would expect, whites earn more than blacks. From the graph shown above, the average income for a white household per annum is $98,174. This significantly reduces to only $46,073 for the case of African Americans. This is a clear indication that there is a possibility that some whites are paid almost double for the same job done by an African American worker.

Statistical Differences on Poverty Rate
Economic policy institute, (2019).
In terms of poverty, most Black people tend to suffer more poverty than white people. To be precise, 18.7% of blacks live in poverty. This might not appear like such a huge percentage of them, but when it is compared to whites, it is such a huge figure. Only 7.3% of whites live in poverty. This implies more than two folds of black lives in poverty comp ...

Trends in technology-based sexual and non-sexual aggression over time and lin...Center for Innovative Public Health Research
Youth reported experiencing technology-based aggression between 2006-2008. Around 40% experienced internet harassment in 2008, with rude comments being most common. Around 15% experienced cyberbullying in 2007-2008. Approximately 18% experienced unwanted sexual encounters in 2008, most often being asked about sex when unwilling. Those experiencing online aggression often also experienced offline aggression, with 13% experiencing both online and offline aggression in one study. Technology-based aggression was linked to problems like substance use and poor relationships.Abuse And Neglect In Older Men
This article summarizes research on elder abuse and mistreatment, with a focus on gender differences. It finds that older men are more likely to experience neglect, particularly abandonment. Two case vignettes are presented that illustrate major findings: an older man experiencing neglect and abandonment by family, and an older man becoming neglected after his wife who cared for him passed away. Focus group interviews with older men also discussed elder mistreatment and highlighted the need for more research to understand similarities and differences between male and female victims.

The document discusses findings from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL) regarding mental health differences among racial and ethnic groups in the United States. It finds that while race is an important factor, there are also differences between ethnic groups like African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and whites. Immigrant status and ancestry were found to impact mental health outcomes for Afro-Caribbeans. The study also looked at multigenerational families and found mental health disparities are influenced by multiple social and biological factors over the life course, not any single cause.
Income and Health
1) The study found that 24.3% of deaths in Virginia from 1990 to 2006 could have been prevented if the entire state had the same mortality rates as the most affluent areas. This represents over 220,000 avertable deaths.
2) The proportion of avertable deaths was highest in rural, non-metro areas and areas with lower population density and household income. Counties with the highest percentages of avertable deaths included Charles City, Prince George, and Dinwiddie Counties.
3) Improving social conditions like income and education across Virginia could enable more areas to achieve the health advantages and lower mortality rates seen in northern Virginia.
General Outline Of Homelessness
There are three main groups of homeless people: those without housing, those in constant poverty moving frequently, and those who lost housing due to sudden circumstances. Homelessness is caused by both structural factors like changes in housing and job markets as well as personal factors like victimization, mental illness, and low education. A shortage of affordable housing and lack of health insurance exacerbate homelessness. Over 3.5 million people experience homelessness annually in the US, including 1.35 million children, and resources are inadequate to meet the high demand for shelter.
Poverty in the USA
Mollie Orshansky developed the original U.S. poverty thresholds in 1963-1964 while working for the Social Security Administration. She defined poverty as a family's annual income being below three times the annual cost of basic groceries. Known as "Mollie's Measure," it set a consistent standard for defining poverty over time and between countries based on basic needs rather than relative to overall societal standards of living. Her thresholds were later adopted by the U.S. government and remain influential in measuring poverty in America.
