Supporting Families Experiencing Homelessness
In the face of a rapid rise in homelessness among US families, this study addresses the broader ecology of the problem, reviewing current research across a range of risk factors and making informed recommendations for future research and policy direction.
Homelessness among families with children in the U.S. is rising rapidly due to the economic downturn. Supporting Homeless Families: Current Practices and Future Directions aims to raise the standard of services provided to families without homes through practices that are strengths-based and culturally competent. This book provides a contextual overview of family homelessness. An ecological and developmental framework for understanding the implications of homelessness from infancy through adulthood are presented with reference to existing research. The book also addresses innovative designs for providing collaboration between and among diverse services that interface with families experiencing homelessness. In doing so, the importance of providing families with culturally competent services that support them during episodes of homelessness as well as the period of re-housing are addressed. Examples of empirically proven interventions and best practices are showcased, and roadblocks to success and sustainability are discussed.

From the reviews:

"This edited volume provides a comprehensive look at the needs of homeless families, the human service system's responses to those needs, and the effectiveness of those interventions. ... Summing Up: Recommended. All academic levels/libraries." (A. Dworsky, Choice, Vol. 51 (8), April, 2014)

"This book is an extremely welcome addition to the literature on homelessness, and the only one solely devoted to the needs of families and children. This timely volume is a creative compendium of articles that explores every aspect of the issue and describes the cutting edge of the field." - Ellen L. Bassuk, M.D., National Center on Family Homelessness, Center for Social Innovation, and Harvard Medical School
