Health is a serius and complex issue in the context of homelessness. Nevertheless, in Italy it receives little attention and there are few and fragmentary available data about health conditions of homeless people. The article aims to highlight the relevance of health problems in homeless people and the importance of addressing them with an integrated approach oriented to the recovery and the empowerment of the homeless, as proposed by the innovative model of Housing First.

Keywords: Health; homelessness; recovery; empowerment; integration; housing first.
