Free/Low-cost Medical and Prescription Discounts
​

Poor and homeless people/families have a greater chance of getting ill and sick than other people due to the fact that they do not have a permanent living situation and are oftentimes exposed to the outside elements.  Homeless children also have a greater chance of getting ill.
