First published in 1999. Family homelessness is one of the most profound and disturbing social problems of the 1990's and will be one of the most important issues facing the United States in the twenty-first century. The main purpose of this study was to develop a transitional program framework that can assist homeless women with children to become self-sufficient. In order to create this framework; this study identified current program areas and components in transitional programs for homeless women with children, including education and employment training components; and determined which program areas and components of current programs have a relationship to programs with successful outcomes.

Family homelessness is one of the most profound and disturbing social problems of the 21st century and is projected to remain an ongoing issue for the United States in upcoming years. The fastest growing segment in the homeless population continues to be families, specifically single women with children. One intervention to the problem of homeless women with children is by providing them with transitional housing, a step beyond the familiar short-term emergency shelter. Transitional housing typically shelters families for up to 2 years. During this extended stay, women participate in programs designed to assist them with addiction, mental health, domestic violence, parenting skills, nutrition, employment, and gaining the independent skills necessary to transition their families to stable living. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explore the transition process by which formerly homeless women residing in a transitional shelter acquired stable housing. The aims of this study were to identify factors that impacted the transition, identify support structures, skills, and knowledge necessary during the transition, and to explore how this experience influenced their health. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a sample of 29 women who participated in one shelter program within the past 3 years. Dimensional analysis, an approach to the generation of grounded theory, was used to guide the investigation of the transition process of formerly homeless women from shelter to stable housing. Findings revealed a substantive explanation of how internal and external factors shape the transition process. A core dimension of creating a better life emerged as these women moved through phases of homelessness toward independent living. Phases included a turning point-lifestyle and homelessness before the shelter (context), reality checkĀ¬ evaluating their lives and their decision to enter the shelter (conditions), taking responsibility-working the shelter program and making changes (processes/actions), and taking the life skills-leaving the shelter for independent living (consequences). This study provides fundamental knowledge and an understanding of the transition process from the perspective of homeless women and identifies factors that influenced their ability to move to stable housing. Implications for future research, education, practice and policy are suggested.

Sharing the daily struggles of children and families residing in transitional situations (homelessness or because of risk of homelessness, being connected with the child welfare system, or being new immigrants in temporary housing), this text recommends strategies for delivering mental health and intensive case-management services that maintain family integrity and stability. Based on work undertaken at the Center for the Vulnerable Child in Oakland, California, which has provided mental health and intensive case management to children and families living in transition for more than two decades, this volume outlines culturally sensitive practices to engage families that feel disrespected by the assistance of helping professionals or betrayed by their forgotten promises. Chapters discuss the Center's staffers' attempt to trace the influence of power, privilege, and beliefs on their education and their approach to treatment. Many U.S. children living in impoverished transitional situations are of color and come from generations of poverty, and the professionals they encounter are white, middle-class, and college-educated. The Center's work to identify the influences or obstacles interfering with services for this target population is therefore critical to formulating more effective treatment, interaction, and care.

Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.
