本评论将福利悬崖的现实引入住房与健康的关系中。改善住房和健康需要解决极低和低收入人群面临的福利悬崖问题。生活在贫困线以下的人们面临着贫困、不充分和不健康生活条件的最大风险。他们也是在实现经济自给自足的过程中最有可能失去福利和经济支持的群体。解决特拉华州的住房危机要求我们认识到极低和低收入家庭正在努力实现自给自足的福利悬崖即将出现。有效的政策和干预措施至少需要借鉴那些努力克服福利悬崖和实现经济流动性的人的经验，并且需要将住房、经济福利和医疗保健结合起来。
This Commentary introduces the reality of the benefits cliff into the housing and health relationship. Improving both housing and health requires addressing the benefits cliff facing extremely low- and low-income people. Those living below the poverty line are at greatest risk of poor, inadequate, and unhealthy living conditions. They are also the group most at risk for losing benefits and economic supports on their journey toward economic self-sufficiency. Addressing the housing crisis in Delaware demands that we recognize the benefits cliff looming on the horizon for extremely low- and low-income families struggling toward self-sufficiency. Effective policies and interventions, at a minimum, need to be informed by the experiences of those struggling to navigate the benefits cliff and achieve economic mobility and need to be integrated across housing, economic benefits, and health care.
