Abstract:
The characteristics and needs of homeless families participating in a large-scale services-enriched housing program are examined. Although not a representative sample, participants constitute one of the largest subsets of homeless families in the literature. Moreover, the sample, which encompasses nine sites, is focused on families with multiple problems who have been recurrently homeless. Differing constellations of needs and implications for service delivery are explored.
