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.

摘要

本文考察了参与一项大规模、服务丰富的住房项目的无家可归家庭的特征和需求。尽管该样本不具代表性，但却是文献中最大的无家可归家庭子集之一。此外，涵盖九个地点的样本聚焦于有多种问题且反复无家可归的家庭。文中探讨了不同的需求组合及其对服务提供的影响。
