"Aboriginal Homelessness in Canada" a literature review presents a
comprehensive review of scholarly literature on the topic. It answers the
following four broad inquiry areas through a review and analysis of current
(1988-2012) and primarily academic, literature: Key Concepts, Causes,
Experiences and Actions. It also endeavours to highlight gaps and weaknesses
that currently exist in the academic literature and suggests future research
avenues on this topic.

This paper has several target audiences. Since it provides an analysis of
scholarly material an academic audience is a primary target. 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.


This report and 2 other publications from CHRN: Housing First in Canada and
Youth Homelessness in Canada will be available for purchase.
