Understanding Older Homeless People: Their Circumstances, Problems and Needs (Rethinking Ageing) Book

Although ageing people are a significant segment of the homeless population, they have largely been ignored by service providers and policy makers. This text sets out to remedy this situation and offers new research on the causes of homelessness. Partial life histories have been collected from older homeless people and their pathways into homelessness traced. Although the book is about older homeless people, many of them have been homeless since they were teenagers or since early adulthood. It therefore examines the reasons for homelessness at all stages of the life course. The book discusses the circumstances, problems and needs of older homeless people, looks at how services are responding, and makes recommendations for service development. Case studies are used throughout to assist explanations. This book has much to offer a wide audience including service-providers, policymakers, health care workers, housing and social services workers, gerontologists and sociologists. Because it is easy to read, it is accessible to lay readers. It will be of interest to a British audience and an international audience, particularly in countries such as America and Australia where innovations in services for homeless older people are rapidly developing.Read More
