Title

Homelessness: Scientific Research and Current Studies

Abstract

This review takes stock of current social science studies on homeless­ ness. Research on homelessness in the 1980s has been motivated by the increasing numbers and visibility of homeless individuals including men, women, and families, as well as young people without families. Most empirical research uses a working definition of homelessness as the situation of those individuals who are without a permanent place to reside. However, a broad variety of views vary about what homelessness is. In part, this reflects awareness of the dynamics of homelessness that involve periodic mobility in and out of homeless circumstances. But it also reflects shifts in societal attitudes about what constitutes sufficient housing. Research indicates that the demographic of homeless people is varied, but most homeless persons are young and single. Many have significant chronic issues including mental illness, alcoholism, physical impairments, and poor health. A substantial proportion have criminal backgrounds. Many were reared in foster care settings. All suffer from economic hardship, and many have suffered long-term unemployment. Considerable dispute occurs about the number of homeless people, in part because the lack of resources to address this issue politicizes the discussion. There is also considerable debate about the underlying causes of homelessness.
