<div><font face="times new roman, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif">We are pleased to announce that our book, <i>Homelessness & Health in Canada</i>, has been published and is now available in <b><u>open access</u></b> as part of a new initiative of the University of Ottawa Press. This is the first edited book published in Canada exclusively devoted to the health of homeless populations. <span style="line-height:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit">Covering a wide range of topics from youth homelessness to end-of-life care, the individual chapters strive to outline policy and practice recommendations to respond to this ongoing public health crisis.</span></font></div>

In the first section, contributors explore how homelessness affects the health of particular homeless populations, focusing on the experiences of homeless youth, immigrants, refugees and people of Aboriginal ancestry. In the second section, contributors investigate how housing and public health policy, as well as programmatic responses, can address various health challenges experienced by those who are homeless. In the final section, contributors highlight innovative Canadian interventions that have shown promise in improving the health of those impacted by homelessness. </font></span></div>
