ST. PAUL, MN (KELO.com) — Homelessness can be deadly.
People who experience homelessness in Minnesota die at triple the rate of the general population, according to a new report produced through a partnership between the Minnesota Department of Health and the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute.
That alarming pattern holds true regardless of age, gender or race.
The Minnesota Homeless Mortality Report 2017-2021 summarizes data from the first systematic look at mortality among people experiencing homelessness who die in Minnesota.
