Abstract

Older homeless people are a substantial proportion of single homeless people in many developed countries. Some have been homeless for years and have become elderly while homeless, while others became homeless for the first time in later life. Some are homeless briefly following a short-term financial, housing, or relationship crisis and are quickly helped. Others have persistent and deep-seated problems and remain homeless for years, either because they do not make their needs known or refuse help, or because appropriate services are unavailable. In Australia, Great Britain, and the United States there are a few services exclusively for older homeless people: some have been developed by organisations that serve all homeless people, and others by organisations formed for the specific purpose.
