abstract = "This chapter explores the rapidly shifting evidence base on the gender dynamics of homelessness, focusing in particular on the improved understanding of women{\textquoteright}s experience of homelessness. This chapter begins by looking at why women{\textquoteright}s experience of homelessness has never been fully acknowledged, before moving on to consider the nature and extent of women{\textquoteright}s homelessness. The longstanding failure to fully recognise need and develop women-specific services is then discussed. Following this, this chapter looks at the emergence of new strategies, services and systems that are more effective in preventing and reducing women{\textquoteright}s homelessness.",
