Purpose: To examine healthcare service development needs for persons experiencing homelessness from the perspective of frontline staff at a homeless shelter in Montreal, Quebec.

Methods: Purposive sampling, semi-structured interviews with frontline shelter staff (n = 8), and thematic analysis.
Findings: Themes included: 1) Challenges meeting healthcare service needs in a shelter environment. 2) Visions for improving healthcare services while accounting for health issues and barriers to care. 3) Participants' own knowledge gaps around health and healthcare services.
Conclusions: Future research should emphasize this group's crucial role in homelessness healthcare services development.
期刊介绍：
This innovative publication focuses on health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice -- home health care, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education, and public health administration. Well-researched articles provide practical and up-to-date information to aid the nurse who must frequently make decisions and solve problems without the back-up support systems available in the hospital. The journal is a forum for community health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in the field.
