How does behavioral health contribute to homelessness, and how does Homeward Pikes Peak help people facing this obstacle? Homelessness is quite complex – often multiple contributing factors such as the cost of living, the cost of housing in our community, and then the complexities of broken family relationships, compounded by mental health and substance misuse by people. When someone has untreated mental health issues or substance use turns into misuse and addiction it has a negative impact on everything – housing, employment, and overall health. Homeward Pikes Peak has an outpatient treatment clinic and today we speak to its director Katie Edelson Milo.
