Intersectionality with Brain Injury: Traumatic Brain Injury is both a cause & consequence of homelessness. Over half of those who are homeless or are in an insecure living situation have a TBI. Twenty-five percent of those were moderate to severe brain injuries. (10Xs higher than the general population). They have poorer general health and functioning than people who are homeless without brain injury. More than half experience their first TBI before becoming homeless. People who are homeless and have a TBI are more likely to report childhood trauma or violence.
