A home is not just a physical space: it provides roots, identity, security, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing." This quote comes from the UK charity Crisis, who warn that with the financial crisis the risk of homelessness for many people is closer than we have ever assumed. This month's editorial <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1000003">(<em>PLoS Medicine</em> Editors, e1000003)</a> examines the health needs of the homeless, the under-representation of these problems in the medical literature, and the failure of social and health support systems to address them.</p> <a xmlns:plos="http://plos.org" id="abstract1.p2" name="abstract1.p2" class="link-target"></a><p xmlns:plos="http://plos.org">A systematic review and meta-analysis <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.0050225">(Fazel et al. e225)</a> published this month also examines some of these problems, showing that homeless people in Western countries have a higher prevalence of alcohol and drug dependence and mental disorders than the general population. A perspective <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.0050237">(Herrman e237)</a> discusses the study and the absence of interagency partnerships to address these
