Abstract
This report presents the findings of a study on the link between gambling and homelessness among older people. While homelessness is one of the most severe gambling-related harms, and older people appear to be more at risk, there has been limited research on how gambling and homelessness are linked, the role of contributing factors, and the adequacy of current service responses. In this exploratory study we review the existing research literature, and undertake an empirical investigation of gambling and homelessness among older people (aged 50+ years) in Victoria, Australia.
