Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Homelessness is an increasing public health issue which has been observed on a global wide scale for decades. Within Europe, the current status accounts for a vast number of homeless individuals. Due to the nature of this growing problem, the rate of homelessness within Central and Eastern Europe requires strategizing as well as an in-depth analysis of existing literature. Several plausible causes of homelessness are highlighted such as migration, mental illness, and various other origins. This research explores national strategies and community-based interventions in efforts to reduce homelessness and improve health status in surrounding European countries. Methods and Materials: The research concerning homelessness is considered to be a secondary source research study. The information describes several factors which contribute to such prevalence in Central and Eastern Europe.
