A Literature Review of Homelessness and Aging: Suggestions for a Policy and Practice-Relevant Research Agenda

Abstract: RÉSUMÉLe sans-abrisme chez les personnes âgées est une préoccupation croissante à travers le Canada et devrait augmenter avec le changement démographique (Crane & Warnes, 2010 ; Culhane, Métraux, Byrne, Stino, et Bainbridge, 2013 ). Pourtant, les connaissances actuelles, les politiques et les pratiques concernant le sans-abrisme ont tendance largement de se concentrer sur des populations plus jeunes. De même, la recherche et les politiques sur le vieillissement en général négligent le sans-abrisme. Les réponse… Show more

“…These themes support the perception that homelessness is a phenomenon that individuals impose upon themselves and often ignores systemic factors (e.g., limited affordable housing) that contribute to homelessness (Johnson, Freels, Parsons & Vangeest, 1997;Padgett, Henwood, Abrams, & Drake, 2008). Often, individual pathway literature has a heavy emphasis on substance abuse; however, there is much debate over which comes first, substance abuse as a precursor to homelessness or substance abuse as a consequence of homelessness (Grenier et al, 2016). For example, an empirical study conducted by Johnson and Chamberlain (2008) studied a sample population of 4,291 young and older individuals experiencing homelessness in Melbourne, Australia.…”

“…It has been estimated that 50% of adults experiencing homelessness are between the ages of 50 and 64 years (Brown et al, 2016;Gonyea, Mills-Dick, & Bachman, 2010). Among this subpopulation, longer time periods of homelessness have significant health implications (Grenier et al, 2016;Grenier, Barken, Sussman, Rothwell, & Lavoie, 2013;Wong & Piliavin, 2001). Specifically, shelter use and/or living in the elements (unsheltered) accelerates the aging process 15 to 20 years among older adults, hence the seemingly premature classification of aging among older adults that normally describes individuals 65 years of age and over (Goldberg, Lang, & Barrington, 2016;Shinn et al, 2007).…”
