Book excerpt: Data analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship between the number of social supports and number of homeless episodes among the three groups. The more social supports one had, the fewer number of homeless episodes they experienced. In addition, there was a significant inverse relationship between the level of satisfaction with social supports and number of homeless episodes. The higher one's level of satisfaction with social support was, the fewer number of homeless episodes they experienced. There was no relationship between number of stressful life events and number of social supports. Recommendations for future research included additional studies on the relationship between homelessness and social support, specifically examining one's social support prior to their arrival to the homeless shelter. Additional research is solicited regarding the relationship between stressful life events and homelessness; and the relationship between stressful life events and social support.
