Book Synopsis Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Diversity Within the Homeless Population by : Elizabeth M. Smith

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis The Size and Census Coverage of the U.S. Homeless Population by : Bruce D. Meyer
Download or read book The Size and Census Coverage of the U.S. Homeless Population written by Bruce D. Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite widespread concern about homelessness, fundamental questions about the size and characteristics of this hard to study population are unresolved, in large part because it is unclear whether existing data are sufficiently complete and reliable. We examine these questions as well as the coverage of new microdata sources that are designed to be nationally representative and will allow pathbreaking new analyses. We compare three restricted use data sources that have been largely unused to study homelessness to less detailed public data. In doing this triangulation of sources, we examine the completeness and accuracy of available data and improve our understanding of the size of the homeless population and its inclusion in household surveys. Specifically, we compare restricted data from the 2010 Census, American Community Survey (ACS), and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to HUD's public-use point-in-time (PIT) estimates and the Housing Inventory Count (HIC) at the national, city and county, and person level. We explore the extent to which definitions, weighting, frame completeness, and seasonality explain discrepancies between sources. We also link HMIS shelter-use data to the Census to evaluate the usefulness of these microdata to study this population. Our analyses suggest that on a given night there are 500,000-600,000 people experiencing homelessness in the U.S., about one-third of whom are sleeping on the streets and two-thirds in shelters. About 80-95 percent of those in shelters were counted in the Census. Despite employing substantially different methods, the Census, ACS, and PIT arrive at similar estimates after accounting for definitional differences, ambiguity in the classification of certain facilities, and differences arising from the timeframe of Census response. The coverage of these sources is surprisingly good given the difficulties of surveying this population. By establishing the broad coverage and reliability of the new data sources, this paper lays the foundation for pathbreaking future work on the characteristics, income, safety net participation, mortality, migration, geographic distribution, and housing status transitions of the U.S. homeless population.
Book Synopsis Taking the Homeless Census by : Alexis Ivy
Download or read book Taking the Homeless Census written by Alexis Ivy and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the Homeless Census, Alexis Ivy's second poetry collection, begins with her award-winning crown of sonnets concerning her work with the homeless community. This 15-sonnet sequence captures the vulnerable moments of shared humanity. The remaining poems are a heartfelt response to the crown, splintering the poet's relationship with her lifework while questioning the definition of home. Known for their thoughtful attention to language and form, Ivy's poems find beauty in the wounds. Taking the Homeless Census lets readers touch the untouchable.

Download or read book The United States Census Effort to Count the Homeless: An Assessment of Street Enumeration Procedures During "S-Night" in New Orleans written by James D. Wright and published by . This book was released on with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shelter and Street Night (S-Night) was the attempt by the U.S. Bureau of the Census to include selected components of the nation's homeless population in the 1990 decennial count. Teams of investigators in five cities were contracted by the Census' Center for Survey Methods Research (CSMR) to assist in assessing various aspects of the S-Night enumeration. Among the contracted activities, researchers independently compiled a list of the names and addresses of shelters for comparison against the bureau's existing list of S-Night shelter enumeration sites. In addition, investigators undertook experiments concerning the completeness and reliability of the actual homeless count. This entailed the hiring, training, and supervision of approximately sixty persons deployed as observation teams to designated locations around the city. Subsequent analysis indicated that approximately two-thirds of the observers were enumerated in New Orleans. Aside from missing a third of the observers, numerous other problems were discovered in the homeless count.
