In this commentary, we suggest that policy-makers need to take seriously the situation of rural homelessness in Canada, its implications for individual and community health, and consequences in the context of pandemics. Addressing the vulnerability and unique needs of homeless populations during pandemics has been a major component of the Canadian federal response to the COVID-19 crisis (Office of the Prime Minister 2020). Policy-makers need to take seriously the situation of rural homelessness in Canada, its implications for individual and community health, and consequences in the context of pandemics. Policy-and decision-makers can address the pandemic preparedness needs of rural and remote communities through increased homelessness funding and support which is more equitable and in line with that available to urban communities.	./cache/cord-253653-y4a6yan7.txt	./txt/cord-253653-y4a6yan7.txt
