Homeless Health Matters: The Case for Change

Homeless Health Matters: the case for change is aimed at Health and Wellbeing Boards and their constituent members. It shows how health and housing services can be better designed to meet the health needs of homeless people.

People who are homeless have worse health than most, yet they find it harder to get help. While there are some services which are effective in addressing the health needs of homeless people, this is not yet consistent across the country. There is an urgent need for change. We are calling on Health and Wellbeing Boards to take action to improve homeless health.
