It answers the following four broad inquiry areas through a review and analysis of current (1988-2012) and primarily academic, literature:<b><i> Key Concepts, Causes, Experiences and Actions.</i></b> It also endeavours to highlight gaps and weaknesses that currently exist in the academic literature and suggests future research avenues on this topic.<br><br>This paper has several target audiences.

This review may also be of value to policy makers, service providers, politicians and community stakeholders because of its emphasis on solutions and pathways forward. Since it is written in plain language, it is also designed to be accessible to the general population. It is the hope of the reviewer that this document is disseminated as widely as possible, as to draw attention to the national Aboriginal homelessness crisis and hopefully inspire action.<br><br><br>This report and 2 other publications from CHRN: Housing First in Canada and Youth Homelessness in Canada will be available for purchase.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>ABOUT CANADIAN HOMELESSNESS RESEARCH NETWORK:<br><br>The Canadian Homelessness Research Network (CHRN) brings together top researchers on homelessness in Canada.
