Patient dumping or homeless dumping is the practice of hospitals and emergency services releasing homeless or indigent patients to public hospitals or onto the streets instead of transferring them to a homeless shelter or retaining them. These cases usually require expensive medical care with minimal government reimbursement.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] The term "homeless dumping" has been used since the late 19th century and resurfaced throughout the 20th century alongside legislation and policy changes aimed at addressing the issue.^[4] Studies of the issue indicate mixed results from the United States' policy interventions and propose a variety of ideas to remedy the problem.^[5]^[6]^[7]
