Details

This guidance provides examples to help healthcare professionals:

• identify and advocate to prevent the risk of homelessness among people who have poor health
• minimise the impact on health from homelessness among people who are already experiencing it
• enable improved health outcomes for people experiencing homelessness so that their poor health is not a barrier to moving on to a home of their own
