Abstract
Homelessness is seldom a choice. Oftentimes, homelessness reflects the systemic failures that can result from social issues being dismissed or disregarded.1 Globally, approximately 1.6 billion people lack adequate housing, with 15 million more individuals being evicted on an annual basis.2 This situation is often profoundly worse in low- and middle-income countries like China. It is estimated that 300 million people in the country—home to 1.4 billion Chinese—are homeless.3 However, despite the scale of this issue, China does not have a robust health and social infrastructure—preventive and proactive systems that could ensure people have stable and sustainable access to opportunities that are essential to their survival (e.g., food and shelter) and growth (e.g., training, education, and employment programs)—for homeless people.
