Over two decades, many studies have attempted to identify the
factors that correspond to the spatial distribution of
homelessness. They used data where people end up as homeless. Such
studies could not reveal where the homeless come from and what
process that contributes to the vulnerability of individuals on the
brink of homelessness. This book seeks the geographic distribution
of residential origins of different categories of the homeless and
categorizes homeless people based on gender, family status, the
occurence of alcohol, drug and mental health, chronicity, and
veteran status. Specifically, this book addresses two research
questions: 1. Does the spatial distribution of residential origins
of each homeless category differ? And 2. What demographic,
socioeconomic and housing factors are associated with the spatial
distribution of residential origins of each homeless category? The
book also demonstrates the application of Geographic Information
System in the homelessness context. The book contributes to the
discussion of homelessness particularly on homelessness prevention
interventions and will greatly benefit scholars and practitioners
on homelessness issues.
