Homelessness is a major public health challenge faced by many countries, and in many places, it has been aggravated by the economic downturn associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Even in wealthy countries, homelessness remains a major social and public health issue. For example, in the USA, which is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, an estimated 600 000 individuals are homeless on any given night. 1 Homelessness is defined as the lack of ‘a fixed, regular, and adequate night time residence’by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. 2 Studies have found that homeless individuals are more likely to encounter barriers to accessing medical care, including poverty, family problems, poor health literacy and a lack of social support. 3 Homelessness is an especially important issue among young women, as pregnancy among homeless women is common and, due to the lack of resources available for homeless women, the health and lives of both mother and baby could be affected if appropriate care cannot be delivered. 4 Due to the intersection of homelessness, poverty, drug use and limited access to effective contraception, homeless female adolescents are more likely to report a pregnancy in a lifetime than their housed counterparts. 5 Homelessness may impact the health outcomes of pregnant women and their babies, 6 and pregnancy may also increase women’s risk of experiencing homelessness due to dropping out of school or surviving domestic violence related to pregnancy. 7 8 Despite the critical importance of understanding the quality of care and outcomes of homeless women during pregnancy and delivery, research examining the health and healthcare access among postpartum homeless women has been limited.
