The author, acknowledging the reality of homeless persons in most communities, explores the meanings and dynamics of homelessness, and the need to recognize the variety of participants needing to be recognized in appreciating the complexity of this segment of society. He raises the issue of how pastoral caregivers become involved in providing authentic care to this sub-culture and offers examples from his own experiences as a volunteer chaplain in the Salvation Army Corps.

Ahajumobi, Edith N. "Homelessness in Calgary From the Perspectives of Those Experiencing Homelessness." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4413.
Since the 1990s, homelessness has increased in Canada. The existing strategies of the government and public health service providers to manage the situation have had limited success. Researchers have noted the lack of including those experiencing homelessness to better understand and find a solution to homelessness. The purpose of this phenomenological study, driven by the social cognitive theory, was to understand homelessness from the perspectives of people who do not have homes. Data were collected from open-ended interviews with a purposeful sample of 15 individuals who are homeless. Summarizing and analyzing the interviews, several themes emerged after interview data were transcribed via hand coding and analyzed using cognitive data analysis. The prominent themes were: lack namely, money, home, privacy, and support; discrimination of all kinds; mental illness and addiction; the need for a review of housing policy that specifically addresses rent, mortgage qualification criteria and house tax, and to create awareness of government support systems and the services that they provide. Public health service providers and designated authorities can use the findings of this study to understand the phenomenon from the perspective of people who are experiencing homelessness, and in turn can use that understanding to influence improved homelessness reduction strategies that could improve the lives of those experiencing homelessness and their communities. Since homelessness is a public health issue, effectively bringing it under control could create a positive impact on the health and safety of the public.

Morgan, William J. "Escaping from homelessness." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2011. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/49320/.
This thesis addresses the question of what helps the homeless to escape from homelessness. It comprises an empirical paper, a systematic literature review and a paper reflecting on the experience of conducting research with once-homeless men. The empirical paper details a qualitative exploration of the experience of escaping from homelessness for five once-homeless men. Semi-structured interviews were carried out and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Emergent themes were: life breaking in, decision to change, bad past and good present, better future. Life breaking in considered how life events and relationships 'broke into' cycles of homelessness and drug abuse participants were caught in. Their combined effect seemed to be to bring participants to a ‘turning point’, where they made a clear decision to change. Participants' relationship with their past, present and future seemed key in maintaining their escape. Escape from homelessness was discussed in terms of identity change, especially the need to repair a broken identity. The systematic literature review evaluates the evidence for the effectiveness of therapeutic communities (TCs) for dually-diagnosed homeless. PsycINFO, Web of Science, ASSIA and PubMed were searched using terms relating to therapeutic community, homelessness and effectiveness. A total of 113 unique articles were retrieved and of these ten met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. The review found that TCs with adaptations for patients with mental illness, in addition to substance dependency, led to small improvements in substance abuse, mental health and housing outcomes. However, these effects were short-lived and few were still present after a year. In the reflective paper, the experience of conducting research, as a therapist, with once-homeless men was reflected on and the question of what therapists bring to research was considered. While therapists may struggle with some aspects of clinical research, they bring a range of skills and experience to this endeavour.

Particular characteristics are frequently assigned to homeless people by virtue of the fact they are labelled as 'the homeless'. There are numerous functions that such terms and definitions fulfil. In general, they serve to promote perceptions of people with particular characteristics as different, distinct and distanced from others in society. In addition they may obscure structural inequalities, maintain and reinforce the interests of dominant groups in society. These definitions do not develop in a vacuum, they are constructed throughout centuries within a social system. The aim of this research was to explore how people make sense of their experience of homelessness in the context of the constructions operating within the social realm. It was suggested that these constructions have contributed to a representation of homeless people in individualistic and pathological terms and thus had a negative impact on this population. An analysis of some of the discourses used by members of this population suggested that this was indeed the case; however, the analysis also indicated that people often refused the 'helpless and hopeless' position associated with being 'homeless'. There was evidence that they sought avenues of empowerment. Implications of this alternative discourse regarding 'homelessness' in terms of current service provision for this population were identified. In addition, it was argued that a more contextualised approach will be necessary within clinical practice and research in order to move towards developing a more meaningful and useful way of conceptualising the experiences of people who are homeless. The role of Psychology was discussed.

Research regarding the homeless and their interactions with law enforcement is sparse. The current study examines the perceptions homeless men and women have of police officers in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Data for this study was collected via fifty-one semi-structured interviews with guests at three homeless shelters in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Roughly half of those interviewed have a positive opinion of police officers. The results demonstrate that the perceptions of police officers held by those interviewed is based largely on the amount of respect that they receive. If individuals feel they are respected by police officers, their perception is generally more positive. The results also show several of problems expressed by respondents in regards to how they view the homeless are treated by police. A number of policy implications and directions for future research are discussed.

In order to understand and explain criminal, deviant and other social problems as complex phenomena in the society, we need to investigate and perceive their causality, development, dynamics and duration. They can be observed as an individual phenomenon, which means analyzing homeless people as indiviuals, but also as complex social phenomena that have their own scope, dynamics, structure, occurrence, which are socially dangerous, in contradiction with the system of values in a society and cause negative consequences. In that context, homelessness as a public, social, and health problem can be considered as an individual human condition. Or as a negative phenomenon that exists in the society, there is a need to analyze the deep structural factors and root causes that lead to homelessness. Those are inequality, unequal access to public social services, uneven distribution of wealth, inadequate housing policies, especially social housing and adverse housing loans and benefits. This paper makes some theoretical review of both structural factors that cause and maintain homelessness and certain theoretical approaches which give explanation about the emergence and perception of homelessness.

This Evidence Check review looked at the grey and peer reviewed literature related to the effectiveness of programs to support children and young people (10-17 years) at risk of homelessness. It aimed to identify key features of effective programs, core/common elements of the included programs and in establishment and rollout, and challenges and facilitators. Twenty programs were included, with 4 rated as “evidence based” and 7 as “promising”, 9 were considered to have insufficient evidence. Programs were also categorised into the following themes – in descending order of evidence: family therapy, intensive case management, service capacity building and early intervention.

Approximately 1.3 million public school students in the United States were identified by their schools or districts as experiencing some form of homelessness in 2019–20. The housing instability faced by these students is associated with a range of acute needs, including transportation, food insecurity, health care, and emotional and mental health. These challenges have negative impacts for student learning and are associated with lower academic achievement and attainment. This report reviews major federal and state sources of funding for students experiencing homelessness. It finds that federal funding is insufficient to achieve the goals of federal law and is unevenly distributed. Further, only four states provide dedicated funding to support students experiencing homelessness. It also examines federal and state funding for supporting students experiencing homelessness and offers recommendations to increase investments for and support students experiencing homelessness.

This study examines how five school districts work to serve students experiencing homelessness. We draw on interview data with homeless program staff, including coordinators, liaisons, and social workers, and budget data to describe how the districts identify and address the needs of students experiencing homelessness, how districts fund and staff their programs, and the challenges that districts confront in meeting the needs of students experiencing homelessness.

In June 2017, the First Minster announced that he would ask the Wales Centre for Public Policy to contribute research on youth homelessness prevention. An international evidence review, and a supplementary report mapping interventions in Wales, form this contribution. This report draws upon a careful assessment of this evidence base to develop a set of recommendations to divert young people from experiences of homelessness effectively.
