Characteristics of homeless children were assessed in interviews with 82 homeless families, including 156 children, living in 14 Massachusetts family shelters. Developmental delays, severe depression and anxiety, and learning difficulties were common among the children. Based on the use of research screening instruments, about half the children were found in need of psychiatric referral and evaluation.
