Closer to Home: Interim Housing for Long-Term Shelter Residents: A Study of the Kelly Hotel

Recent evidence that a subgroup of homeless individuals have become long-term residents of NYC shelters has spurred a search for new approaches to engage them in services and providing appropriate housing alternatives.
