Drawing on recent Federal (Canadian), Provincial (Quebec), and Municipal responses (City of Montreal) to homelessness, this article demonstrates how the exclusion of older homeless people is perpetuated in these strategies. The article highlights the need to acknowledge the intersecting exclusion of older homeless people and concludes by calling for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to critically examine discourses and normative models that function to discount this population.
