Abstract
Homelessness in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood is a pressing public health issue that is largely preventable. However, we are yet to have a national homelessness strategy that encompasses the 0 to 24-year-old age group (hereafter referred to as young people). We have also not yet had a research agenda to address the devastating health impacts associated with homelessness, including interpersonal violence and trauma, mental ill-health, disability and premature death.
