Abstract
This study explored the experiences of mothers experiencing homelessness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were completed with nine mothers and analyzed using thematic analysis. Themes uncovered during the interviews highlighted sources of motivation and perseverance, additional and ongoing impacts of COVID-19, sources of further mental anguish, and unmet needs challenging roles and routines. Notably, the identity of being a mother and the value placed on that role significantly influenced their daily routines and engagement in meaningful occupations. Occupational therapy practitioners can utilize these findings to deliver contextually sensitive care tailored to the unique circumstances and immediate requirements of this population.
