Abstract

The article presents the discussion on homelessness among Indigenous people arising from a clustering of vulnerabilities easily spiral out of control. Topics include hostel managers and shelters describing turning people away leaving clients with little option sleeping on the streets; and problems of discrimination, mental illness, and poverty making it difficult for Indigenous people in accessing and sustaining housing.
