Abstract

Homeless people have a prevalence of mental illness when compared to the general population. They are more likely to suffer from alcoholism and drug dependency. Being chronically homeless also means that people with mental illness are more likely to experience catastrophic health crises requiring medical intervention or resulting in institutionalization within the criminal justice system. In this paper, we consider the rankings of states with respect to homelessness and mental health. We use fuzzy similarity measures to determine the degree of similarity between these rankings. We determine measures of similarity of these rankings using techniques of fuzzy similarity relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
