This research studies housing stability success of a sample of homeless individuals in Ottawa, in an effort to highlight the diversity that exists within the homeless population. It identifies the various health-related problems suffered by distinct groups of homeless individuals and examines the impact these problems have on exiting homelessness and achieving housing stability. It also attributes the rise in the Canadian homeless population to a lack of government assistance and minimal construction of affordable housing.
