Diversity Within the Homeless Population: Implications for Intervention - Hardcover

The rapid growth of the homeless population and its diversity suggest the importance of identifying the characteristics of the various subpopulations of homeless--women with children, adolescents, young adults--in order to develop programs that address their special needs. Diversity Within the Homeless Population examines the characteristics and needs of homeless children, adolescents, and women; describes programs developed to meet the needs of crack-addicted homeless mothers and of homeless families; and describes an innovative program designed to make housing options available to the homeless through employment.
