Barriers and facilitators to housing and healthcare services for people experiencing homelessness with concurrent brain injury, mental health and substance use disorders: a qualitative study
These findings highlight gaps in existing policies and services while identifying effective approaches to supporting individuals experiencing these intersections. Efforts to address barriers and leverage existing facilitators may support the development of accessible services that address unmet health and housing needs among people experiencing homelessness with concurrent ABI and MHSU conditions.
