    Main Results:

    • Over 50% of applicants were over 55 years old.
    • After three years, 41% of applicants with medical priority were rehoused.
    • Only 36% of applicants without medical priority were rehoused within the same timeframe.

    Conclusions:

    • Medical priority appears to offer a slight advantage in rehousing timelines.
    • Further investigation may be needed to optimize rehousing for elderly applicants with medical needs.
    • Effective collaboration between housing authorities and medical advisors is key to addressing specific applicant needs.
