Water and health insecurity among urban homeless communities

Description

We often associate unsafe access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) with the Global South. However, in the Global North there are large pockets of disadvantaged population groups and people who are suffering from the adverse health effects of a lack of access to drinking water and toilets. This includes people experiencing homelessness in urban areas. Working with them, researchers conducted a dedicated study on the subject to identify the related problems and potential solutions.
