Healthcare for the homeless: homelessness is bad for your health

Report that does not set out to provide solutions for tackling homelessness, but instead, focuses on addressing the complex health challenges of the homeless and identifying practical solutions for commissioners and providers to implement.

It provides policymakers, local decision makers, commissioners and providers of healthcare with an overview of these healthcare challenges. The focus of the report is on the dingle homeless, those who move between the streets and hostels.

It presents a number of innovative models of care which have some measurable evidence of success along with models of care that are operating successfully in other countries.
