UVic report targets gaps in care for brain injuries and homelessness

  • A UVic study found significant gaps in health-care services for people experiencing homelessness with brain injuries and mental health or substance use disorders.
  • The study revealed that approximately three out of four people experiencing homelessness have a mental health or substance use disorder, and over half have a history of traumatic brain injury.
  • The study emphasizes the need for a housing-first approach, as housing instability worsens health problems for those with brain injuries.
  • Lead author Cole J. Kennedy highlighted that brain injury is a lifelong condition necessitating ongoing support, indicating that the relationship between brain injury and homelessness is cyclical.
