Single Homelessness

"Single homelessness draws together the main findings of a thorough review of single homelessness research in Britain throughout the 1990s. The study highlights the key themes and trends within homelessness research, and identifies gaps in the current knowledge, and inconsistencies and contradictions in the available evidence. Single homelessness presents the 'story' of homelessness that has emerged from the research to date. This overview report provides a range of definitions of homelessness; analysis of who is homeless and why; a review of the scale of single homelessness; consideration of the wider social aspects of single homeless people's lives, such as health, education, the benefits system, labour market involvement, personal relationships and the criminal justice system; and policy and practice recommendations and identification of areas in which further research in needed." "Single homelessness can be read independently or alongside the two complementary reports - A bibliography of single homelessness research and A review of single homelessness research: Research summaries. These three reports are all vital reading for researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the field of single homelessness and anyone interested in issues related to homelessness generally."--BOOK JACKET.
