Proposed Project: Social Support for Homeless Mothers: Implications
for Best Practices and Program Design--New
The Health Care for the Homeless Clinicians' Network (HCHCN) of the
National Health Care for the Homeless Council, Inc., through a
cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Primary Health Care, Health
Resources and Services Administration, proposes to conduct a study on
the social support available to homeless mothers, most of whom are
parenting children alone. The study will be of adult homeless women and
will be conducted by convening focus groups and administering a
questionnaire to focus group members. The study is designed to look at
clients' life events, histories of violence, medical and physical
illness, social support, children's needs, and services use. The
results will help to define best practices as they relate to social
support processes and enable HCH programs to offer the appropriate mix
of supports necessary to help mothers transition into permanent
housing. The participants will be recruited from ten sites of the
national Health Care for the Homeless program.
The estimated response burden is as follows:
