Course Description: The purpose of this study is to understand the perceptions of the supports and barriers experienced by people during the transition from homelessness to housing. Understanding these experts' perceptions combined with findings from evidence collected from experts with lived experience of homeless can use a two-pronged approach to inform the development of occupational-focused interventions and/or programming to better support a successful transition.
