Social policies and structural factors are generating housing instability and homelessness in Canada, which has serious implications for health. As a result, health care providers treat many people dealing with homelessness. Please click here<http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/news/health-care-providers-homelessness/> for a plain language summary of a recent paper reviewing health interventions related to homelessness by Dr. Stephen Hwang<http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/scientists/hwang/> from the Centre for Research on Inner City Health at St. Michael's Hospital and Dr. Tom Burns<http://www.psych.ox.ac.uk/team/PIs/tom-burns> from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford.
