Homelessness and aging

Homelessness and aging is a largely neglected topic in the literature.^[1] There is a widespread assumption that aged homeless people are rare,^[2] but this is not true. Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom show increases in their populations of aging homelessness. Increased Elderly adults who straddle the poverty line are at greater risk of falling into pathways of homelessness. When a homeless person enters their later years, or becomes homeless for the first time in older age, health issues can become difficult to address and compound as age progresses.^[3]
