The Targeted Call for Research (TCR): Homelessness and Health 2025 grant opportunity seeks to investigate the short and long-term adverse health outcomes experienced by individuals living in unstable housing conditions. The insights gained from this research will inform the development and implementation of comprehensive interventions aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities among people experiencing homelessness in Australia. Research initiatives should foster strong collaboration among health service providers, academic institutions, researchers and communities and embrace a holistic approach to health within community-based programs.
The objectives of this grant opportunity are to:
- Evaluate service models targeting people facing housing instability and homelessness, who have general health conditions or mental illness, focusing on their impact on improved health outcomes.
- Improve policy and service delivery to better meet the needs of people with health and mental health support needs who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
- Identify barriers to integration between housing, access to health services, and health systems and evaluate strategies to overcome them.
- Build research capacity to establish the link between housing, homelessness, and health/mental health outcomes.
Further information about the TCR, its objectives, outcomes, available funds and timeframe is available on GrantConnect.
