Homeless families with children

"The focus of this book is how parents struggle to maintain family cohesiveness and to raise their children in the midst of a problem with homelessness. Based on the authors' qualitative study of 80 homeless families, this text contains a first-hand look at the issues that lead to homelessness including eviction, vandalism, drug addiction, violence, and mental health problems. This insider's look at a nation-wide problem gives us ample information for amending existing social policy, revising the delivery of social and health services, and ameliorating education services for children."--BOOK JACKET.
