Determinants of food insecurity in homeless people: evidence from the territory-wide homeless census in Hong Kong
The substantial individual variations in socio-demographic statuses, homeless experiences and health deficits shaped the differential risks of food insecurity within the homeless community in Hong Kong. Targeted homeless programmes should go beyond the conventionally vulnerable groups but consider the multifaceted nature of homeless experiences in relation to food access and integrate health assessments to holistically support the homeless.
