More than double jeopardy

National Older Women's Housing and Homelessness Working Group, Selina Tually

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Ending homelessness for older women is the right thing to do. We know how to do it. We also know it is less expensive to house someone than to use government funded services.¹ Yet, the numbers of women experiencing homelessness increases year after year. We have let this happen. Why is there an absence of political will to act and address homelessness among older women?
