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.
