Aging and Homelessness in a Canadian Context
There is a growing body of research examining the experiences of homeless older adults in Canada. Fourteen participants (11 males & 3 females) ages 46 to 57, recruited from the At Home / Chez Soi project in Winnipeg, completed individual semi-structured interviews exploring their experiences of homelessness.
Most participants reported lifelong intermittent homelessness.
