Definition

  • Most homeless people are burdened by unmet needs for mental health services. To meet these needs effectively, the planning and delivery of such services demand attention to the needs and characteristics of the homeless, in particular their mental health status, access and barriers to care and support, and the integration of other needed services, especially housing.
