Thesis / Dissertation Description

Homelessness is a condition that adversely affects the spirit, mind, and body of an individual. Homeless mothers are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population and are a vulnerable, at-risk group. Current strategies for care of the homeless focus primarily on providing food and shelter, strategies that keep them alive, but give only temporary help. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explore the experience of homelessness from the perspective of formerly homeless mothers and to describe and discover the process whereby they navigated the pitfalls of homelessness and got off the streets into stable housing.
