Canham, S. L., & Henwood, B. (2025). Editorial鈥擲pecial Issue: Homelessness and Aging. The Gerontologist, 65(7).
Summary
This special issue of The Gerontologist includes papers related to homelessness and aging across a broad range of topics, given that late-life homelessness includes a number of unsafe and unstable situations for persons aged 50 years and older, including individuals and families who lack or will imminently lose a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence as well as older people fleeing or who are attempting to flee violence.
Together, the articles in this special issue offer new empirical findings and insights on a range of issues related to older adult homelessness. We value the unique contributions of each paper and thank the authors for their efforts in shedding light on this important topic.
