Abstract

The abject (the down and out), a visual tax on passersby and an economic tax on society, are easy and convenient to ignore. Homelessness, often, escapes the attention of institutions designed to address it. It is the duty of health providers to help society and policymakers to acknowledge the context and factors that beget ill health. These 55 words are a criticism of the indifference shown toward this important health issue. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
