Abstract
This chapter is about the brutal reality of poverty and homelessness in the lives of women who suffer from mental illness, have experienced violence or trauma, or have simply taken one too many tight economic turns and found themselves destitute. An increasing number of women are subject to violence and rank amongst the ‘visible’ homeless across Canada today, yet they are frequently and paradoxically, invisible.
