Homelessness has been a problem in New York City (NYC) for decades. Part of the problem is children who grew up in the shelter system and then returned as adults, a phenomenon known as 2nd-generation homelessness. Literature indicates that no researchers have interviewed second-generation homeless adults about their experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of 2nd-generation homelessness from the perspective of homeless adults returning to the shelter system. The sample included 1 second-generation homeless adult and 10 case managers at Tier II homeless shelters. Interviews were conducted and data were analyzed using hand coding to uncover themes amongst the interviews. The themes found were: lack of information and resources, generational homelessness is passed down, people should learn from their parents' mistakes, comfort in the homeless shelter system, money, parental abuse and neglect, the role of the case manager, taking advantage of the shelter system, and mental health. The other topics that were discussed on multiple occasions but did not fit into larger categories are: education, drugs and alcohol, lack of family assistance, and activities of daily living. Findings from this study inform social change by indicating a clear need for input from homeless families and case managers when developing interventions to address second-generation homelessness. Future policymakers should include staff and clients when developing ways to address homelessness in New York City. The views and opinions expressed in this manuscript reflect the personal views of the researcher and interviewees; they do not represent the views of NYC Department of Homeless Services or its providers.

The purpose of this study is to compare the coping strategies between homeless women with dependent children and homeless women without dependent children. Of the 192 homeless women in this study, 64 were mothers who have their dependent children living with them and 132 were women who did not have dependent children living with them. The women were recruited from homeless shelters in Georgia, in the Metro-Atlanta area and several surrounding counties: Bartow, Clark, and Cobb. MANOVA analysis was used to test the differences between both groups using their scores on the Coping Strategies Inventory scales (problem solving skills, problem reframing, and ability to access social networks). Univariate analysis was used to look at each dependent variable. There was no statistical difference in coping strategies between both groups. The conclusions from this study suggest continued research regarding the benefit of coping strategies among homeless populations.

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University
Public health departments struggle to maintain costs while sensitively targeting contacts of patients with infectious tuberculosis. The homeless populations in shelters have high degrees of contact exposure and are difficult to trace and treat. Once left untreated, a contact can continue the spread of tuberculosis and worsen a tuberculosis outbreak. It is important for public health workers to quickly identify all the at-risk contacts and to contain costs by specifically excluding any contacts with insignificant exposure. The Boston Public Health Commission utilizes electronic bed logs in the homeless shelters to measure the exposure duration and proximity. From this, it was desired to create a tier system in which a level of exposure could be linked to risk of tuberculosis infection. Two cases that occurred in 2006-2007 in Boston homeless shelters were studied. Electronic bed records were gathered for all nights when each index case stayed at their respective shelter. An exposure score was assigned as the sum of proximity-based ranks over the total number of nights within three beds of the index case. Priority risk groups were assigned from these scores. Tuberculin skin test (TST) converters had the highest mean (12.3, range 0.5-35) exposure score, followed by contacts with only a negative baseline TST (4.0, range 0.5-30). The lowest scores (2.0) were seen in the group with no TST results and in those with a documented prior positive TST. Among contacts with two appropriately timed TSTs, persons with exposure scores >10 had 24 times the odds of converting their TST compared to those with exposure scores <2. Increasing exposure scores were associated with increasing odds ratio of conversion (0.84, 4.80, and 24.0). Only exposure scores >10 were significantly associated with TST conversion. Our work suggests that an exposure score may provide a simple quantified estimate of the duration of exposure. Primitizing follow-up to those persons with higher exposure scores reduces the number of persons in whom testing is needed. Including the group of those with no TST information and those with only a negative baseline TST, targeting exposure scores of > 4.5 reduces the target group for whom testing was recommended by 77% (548 to 124), while maintaining high sensitivity for potential converters.

While researchers have identified the Housing First model of putting homeless persons into permanent housing as the best means of improving the quality of life for chronically homeless individuals, few studies have examined the perceptions of shelter staff workers on the barriers the homeless face in obtaining and maintaining long-term housing. This case study of 2 homeless shelters in New Jersey examined the relationship that fair and just democratic processes play in supporting or undermining Housing First. Data came from New Jersey's annual Point in Time counts of the number of homeless individuals and families and the causes and service needs of the homeless. Government reports were also analyzed, as well as from semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews with a purposive sample of 14 homeless shelter staff workers. The polarities of democracy model as described by Benet helped identify whether democracy was being served rightly and justly within these homeless communities. Information was analyzed by inductive coding and by identifying themes and patterns that emerged from the interviews. The primary finding of this study was that lack of available housing, lack of resources to gain access to housing, and lack of knowledge of resources that are available for housing acquisition and maintenance plays a role in causing individuals to become and remain chronically homeless. Social change implications include policy recommendations to local, state, and federal legislators to increase accountability in the allocation of funding for housing support and the development of a volunteer case management force to meet the service needs of the chronically homeless.

Thesis (MPA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2016
This study sought to investigate governmental intervention in maintaining the victim empowerment centres of the Bohlabela Municipality in Mpumalanga. The issue is contemporary and as a social worker the author can confirm that this scourge still affects our society today and understanding government interventions is useful in terms of ensuring that they work as effectively as possible to assist citizens in the discharge of their mandate. The study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection was through interviews and a questionnaire which had open-ended questions. This research design had been chosen because it has allowed to give solid descriptions and narratives to come out from the real life experiences of social workers and victims of domestic violence as well as the challenges associated with the implementation of the victim empowerment programme. To that end, a phenomenological paradigm was adopted to achieve that ambition. The findings of the study indicate that there are acute challenges which the three centres face and these include a lack of funding, poor structure and poor marketing. The recommendations provided are intended to contribute to the centres’ viability and provide effective services in the communities in which they operate. To that end, there is a need for the government to deploy more resources such as funds, infrastructure, equipment and permanent staff as well as the establishment of permanent structures at these centres to ensure their effectiveness. Additionally, the study found that there is a need for intensive and extensive publicity and marketing of the Victim Empowerment Programmes and Victim Empowerment Centres to increase their visibility and ultimately accessibility. The study found that the centres should ideally be managed by an administrator with clinical staff, a nurse and a police officer and/or a member from the judiciary and the centres should be attached to either hospitals or police stations working at extended hours.

Research on how homeless individuals perceive shelters, housing programs, and their agents has been limited, especially in relation to the reasons for engaging in or avoiding programs. This phenomenological study explored the perspectives of chronically homeless individuals in Wake County, North Carolina, regarding shelters and housing programs, examining their reasons for using or not using shelters or public housing. Using Glidden's structuration theory as the framework, the research questions for this study were based on exploring the perceptions of homeless individuals use of public resources related to housing and shelters to better understand why some use, and perhaps more importantly, why some choose to not use these resources. Purposeful sampling was used to identify 12 chronically homeless men and women and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Data were both deductively and inductively coded and analyzed using a thematic analysis procedure. This study found that the persistence of homelessness is a result of a combination of homeless individuals' perceptions of housing programs' structural failures including long waiting periods for access to housing, unnecessary bureaucratic entanglements, and what they perceived as inaction or apathy on the part of program staff in response to requests for assistance. These findings are consistent with structuration theory. The implications for positive social change include recommendations to policy makers to consider the views and perceptions of homeless people in designing programs, including ways to improve access to public resources that may ultimately lead to permanent housing for homeless individuals.

Resumo: O planeta tem enfrentado atualmente fenômenos naturais diversos e de consequências catastróficas os quais afetaram cerca de 250 milhões de pessoas por ano segundo o Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster (CRED) da Universidade de Louvain, Bélgica. Conforme balanço desse mesmo centro em fevereiro de 2010, o Brasil foi o 6º país no mundo em 2009 a enfrentar o maior número de desastres naturais. Apesar disso, o mapeamento das áreas de risco e a elaboração de planos preventivos e mitigadores aos desastres, tais como o planejamento prévio de ações e provisão adequada de moradias emergenciais e temporárias, não são frequentes em todo o país. Nesse sentido, os acampamentos emergenciais resultantes bem como as unidades de abrigo utilizadas ainda mostram-se precários frente às reais necessidades dos desabrigados, os quais podem permanecer até alguns anos em alojamentos inadequados e sub-humanos. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as contribuições teóricas e metodológicas existentes no campo das habitações emergenciais e temporárias e identificar determinantes fundamentais que possam orientar inicialmente o desenvolvimento de novos e adequados projetos no Brasil e no mundo. De forma geral, o objetivo é o aporte teórico no campo da arquitetura e urbanismo para a habitação durante o pós-desastre. A metodologia utilizada baseia-se na análise de publicações especializadas para obtenção de um conjunto de orientações a partir do qual se avaliará alguns exemplos contemporâneos de abrigos e sua adequabilidade perante os variados contextos
Abstract: The planet is currently facing many natural phenomena and their catastrophic consequences which have affected about 250 million people per year according to the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster (CRED) at the University of Louvain, Belgium. According to an evaluation of the same center in February 2010, Brazil was the 6th country in the world to face the greater number of natural disasters in 2009. Nevertheless, the mapping of risk areas and the development of preventive and mitigating plans on disasters, such as planning of actions in advance and adequate provision of emergency and temporary housing, are not frequent throughout the country. Likewise, the resulting emergency camps and the shelter used still seem precarious regarding the real needs of the refugees, who can stay up to a few years in inadequate and sub-human shelters. The objective of this paper is to analyze the existing theoretical and methodological contributions to the field of emergency and temporary housing, and to identify key determinants that may initially guide the development of new and appropriate design in Brazil and worldwide. In a general manner, the goal is the theoretical contribution in the field of architecture and urban planning for post-disaster housing. The methodology is based on the analysis of specialized publications to obtain a set of guidelines from which will be evaluated few contemporary examples of shelters and their suitability on varied contexts

Анотація:

Homelessness could affect all persons at some point in life regardless of age, gender, race and class if a person falls prey to certain risk factors such as chronic mental illness, addiction, family disruptions, and sudden or protracted unemployment. The female population is at a greater disadvantage of falling prey to becoming homeless by virtue of their gender and implicit and explicit gender inequality principles woven in society's structural system. The researcher focuses on the female homeless population in order to understand and explore the unique challenges they encounter that have led them to experience homelessness. In addition, the researcher specifically questions why homelessness continues to be a problem because social service programs are often available for persons in need before they become homeless. Themes that emerged from the study were better understood utilizing three counseling theories: Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), Psychodynamic Theory and Narrative Theory. RCT posits that human beings grow through and toward connection. Human beings need connections to flourish, and stay alive. Psychodynamic Theory takes a developmental approach to examine early childhood experiences, whether they be positive or negative, and how such experiences and life events may affect a person's adult life. Finally, Narrative Theory takes into consideration a persons' story, and how this population makes meaning from their experiences. The narratives of this specific population is imperative to give a voice to those who don't have a voice, in particular giving a voice to the female homeless population who are doubly invisible in today's society. It is also necessary to examine such narratives for problem laden or solution focused language; Narrative Theory therefore, offers insight into the power of the word of mouth, tales, stories, accounts, descriptions and what individuals choose to retain or forget during traumatic experiences. To this effect, the researcher will conduct a qualitative study by interviewing females who are homeless and residing in shelters in order to understand their unique experiences of homelessness and to deduce how they structured meaning from their circumstances. To enhance the questionings surrounding this dilemma, females residing in shelters in the upper Midwest region were interviewed.

This case study of Covenant House, an emergency shelter for street kids in downtown Toronto, focuses on the experiences that draw kids into youth shelters and that drive them out. The analysis stresses the importance to street kids of feeling "cared for". Street kids were drawn to Covenant House because they felt cared for there by its open intake policy, appealing facilities (clean surroundings and good food), and staff who listened to and were interested in their problems. But residents were rather swiftly turned off by its rigidly enforced, elaborate and "uncaring' rule structure, and either walked out or got kicked out. Given the limited alternatives in Toronto's "shelter world", however, Covenant House has become the preferred choice for street kids who find themselves in a cycle of entering, leaving and returning.

One of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population in the United States is families, with women and their children heading up to 90% of these families. African-Americans represent a disproportionate number within the homeless population. Homelessness is a devastating experience for women and their children who often seek an emergency homeless shelter as their only option for temporary housing. This grounded theory study explored how homeless African-American mothers and their children defined their health and managed and obtained their health for themselves and their children within the context of an emergency homeless shelter. The grounded theory of Layered Stressors emerged after fifteen homeless African-American mothers were interviewed. Health was perceived by the participants as “having your own.” In the first stage, a perceived “loss of self-control” or loss of autonomy was given over to the shelter. In the second stage, homeless mothers experienced layered stressors which consisted of “following the shelter’s rules,” “living with strangers,” “mothering in public,” “changed behaviors of their children,” “smoking more,” “feeling trapped, helpless and powerless,” “shared infectious illnesses.” Chronic stress affects an individual’s physical, psychological and social make-up and may contribute to allostatic load, the cumulative biologic burden exacted on the body and brain. McEwen (2002) described allostatis, and allostatic load as stressors. Allostatic load may contribute to chronic medical illnesses.

Homeless women and families are among the most disenfranchised groups in society. Further, because of their homelessness and associated problems, many homeless women become separated from their children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on predictors of entering a shelter with or without children (shelter status) and whether or not one is separated from one or more children (child separation status) on various special need predictors. A second objective was to determine the relationship between shelter status and child separation and to understand the unique experiences of homeless women who are separated from their children. These objectives were achieved via thematic analysis, quantitative methods and qualitative methods. Results suggest that shelter status significantly related to mental illness, drug abuse and domestic violence, but child separation status only significantly relates to drug abuse. The qualitative findings examined the origins of homelessness, child separation and the women's desires to be reunited with their children. Suggestions for further research and program changes are included.

Research indicates that families are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population in the country (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2011). The rise in the number of homeless families has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of homeless students (Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, 2013; Flannery, 2010). In recent years, the number of District of Columbia homeless families with children has significantly increased (The Homeless Children's Playtime Project [HCPP], 2012), and as of February 2013, more than 601 high school homeless students were enrolled in District of Columbia Public High Schools (DCAYA, 2013). Using mixed methods research, the study collected data from 95 homeless participants (16-21 years) to construct a demographic and educational profile of Black high school-aged homeless youth residing in District of Columbia homeless shelters. The study examined the factors that facilitate or impede the learning outcomes of these youth. The data analysis revealed that 31.66% of the respondents' struggle to find enough food to eat, 59.75% when faced with shelter shortages sleep in abandoned properties and city parks (34.45%), and (37.95%) sleep in city public streets (37.95%). In addition, 74.76% of the study sample "plans to keep going to school". Logistic Regression was performed and indicated that the variables (Multiethnic Identity, Ego Resiliency, and Life Orientation) are significant predictors of grade completion.

Homelessness has been a problem in the United States as early as the 1700s and kinship care networks provided emergency shelters and assistance to victims, neighbors, and family members. Previous studies on homelessness have focused primarily on the causes and effects of the phenomenon or on people who were not able to work due to mental or physical disabilities. The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to explore and understand the lived experiences of 24-55 year old homeless individuals who are able to work but who used homeless shelters in Charlotte, North Carolina, thus helping fill a gap in the literature. The theoretical foundation of the study was functionalism. Snowball sampling was used to find five participants and data were collected using semi-structured interviews based on Rubin and Rubin's approach to interviewing. Data were analyzed using Sada's multiple stage process based on Husserl. All participants experienced worry, boredom, hopelessness, and fear of other residents. Participants also unanimously said shelters cannot be considered long-term homes. Knowledge of these experiences could enable shelter providers to develop programs and services aimed at helping residents feel safer and able to stay for longer periods of time when needed as well as ways to reduce worry, boredom, and hopelessness. This would help promote positive social change by giving residents the ability to take more advantage of counseling and job training programs for those who want to find ways to get out of the condition of homelessness.

This exploratory study will examine how the Internet is used by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) youth to cope with homelessness. It will also examine what the potential risks and benefits of LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness using the Internet for support. Many marginalized groups, including homeless people, use the Internet as a resource, as well as a means of finding social acceptance (Berg 2012, ASA 2012). LGBTQ youth also use the Internet to connect with peers (Lever, Grove, Royce and Gillespie 2008). Using an extended case study research design, this work examines how homelessness is navigated by LGBTQ youth, primarily through the Internet, and how traditional means of support (i.e. shelters) can better meet the special needs of this population.

The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of housing services on the bio-psycho-social functioning of homeless persons with HIV/AIDS. Ideally, taking a homeless person with HIV/AIDS and returning them to a healthy state would be a goal of any social service intervention.

The continued increase in homelessness in Portland, Oregon is in part a result of the systemic restructuring of the welfare state as well as a shift in local governance purviews. Primarily this has eradicated the affordable housing stock in the city which is compounded by the limited availability of emergency shelter spaces. These and other financial constraints have left a depleted service support system to cover a rising homelessness problem. In response to this, contemporary social movements have been focusing attention on economically marginalized groups such as the homeless, calling for rights to access resources in cities such as housing. This approach critiques the neoliberal policies that have bolstered entrepreneurial approaches to urban growth. Neoliberal policies result in a failure to maintain financial support for the well-being of the homeless and connected support services. This research examines one alternative to the traditional approach to sheltering the homeless. It focuses on a self-organized homeless tent city in downtown Portland, Right 2 Dream Too, which has become a critical resource in homeless emergency service provisioning. The rest site's success as an emergency service is primarily predicated on its geographic proximity to a nexus of social services in the Old Town neighborhood. Drawing on ethnographic work and archival data, I analyze the multiple spatialities of this self-managed site to better understand homeless individuals' experience with this place and other related spaces, as a means to understand its value as an emergency service for the homeless in Portland, and other cities with similar constraints. I argue this perspective is essential for mitigating homelessness in Portland and informing the decision-making surrounding its relocation.

Homelessness in South Africa is an ever growing problem and it is difficult to determine the exact number of homeless people due to the fact that they live in different areas, such as under bridges, parks, abandoned buildings and vehicles and at shelters. The problem is growing every year nonetheless, there is still no solution. The number of women who are becoming homeless has also been increasing dramatically. There are many contributory factors that have been identified resulting in homelessness among young women, including domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, poverty amongst others. Homeless women are more vulnerable than other groups, young women especially.
