Homeless Families in St. Louis: a Report From the Field
Description:
In May, June, & Sept 1998, 169 residents of the largest homeless shelter in MO were surveyed in response to the Instit for Children & Poverty's Feb 1998 request to continue research on homeless families in other areas of the country. Our findings corroborate the New York City data of the Instit for Children & Poverty (ICP), with some notable differences. Based on this survey, we concluded that programs for homeless children aimed at keeping them in school, improving their education, & helping them to form & realize career goals -- as well as services such as counseling & mentoring -- are necessary to keep homeless children from becoming homeless adults. 3 Tables, 3 Figures, 7 References. Adapted from the source document.
