This study explores the intersecting vulnerabilities among individuals who are homeless and have psychiatric challenges. Psychiatric survivors are often perceived as a homogenous group with similar needs. However, survivors with minority status are likely to have additional concerns that may not be met by the current systems of care. People further marginalized by visible minority/cultural minority group status, sexual orientation, and/or disabilities are being studied. While belonging to any of these groups can increase the risk for poverty and homelessness, interaction among these vulnerabilities is poorly understood, particularly in relation to housing and homelessness. Secondary analysis of was data collected through the Housing and Mental Health CURA. These data were provided by 320 people.
