This book presents a detailed exploration of the Bridging the Transition framework, an approach designed to guide practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and advocates on strategies for preventing and ending homelessness.
Taking a functional and participation approach to homelessness prevention, chapters describe the processes of leaving homelessness, strategies that can be used at individual, community, and population levels for supporting function and participation in daily life, and guiding principles for practice, research, and policy. This book advances an argument that effective, evidence-based approaches for preventing and ending homelessness are known, yet mobilizing and implementing this knowledge remains a barrier to addressing the growing problem of homelessness and housing precarity in our communities.
An ideal resource for a range of health and social care practitioners, researchers, and policymakers who wish to advance homelessness prevention efforts, this book may also be of specific interest to occupational therapists, psychologists, physicians, social workers, peer support specialists and as a reference text for students in health and social care or research programs.
