Take your knowledge of the needs of the rural homeless to the next
level This groundbreaking text examines research methodologies for
studying the homeless, rural homeless policy, and the lives of
today's rural homeless. It gives a thorough overview of the issues
faced by this unique sector and outlines specific avenues for
further research. The authors' insightful data analysis, real life
findings, and specific case examples offer useful and
research-based approaches to improve the difficult situation of the
rural homeless, using a family health approach well suited to
addressing the issues that affect them. Since services for the
homeless are most often located in cities, the rural homeless are
at a physical disadvantage. Because they are unable to utilize the
services provided for the urban homeless, their needs often go
unmet. Researchers and social service professionals face the same
dilemma. Homelessness in Rural America addresses these issues by
making vital research techniques, difficult-to-find data, and
strategies for practice easy to access, understand, and put to use.
Homelessness in Rural America: Policy and Programs examines: the
current condition of the rural homeless factors that can increase
the probability of a rural individual becoming homeless the
influence of welfare programs on the rural homeless issues faced by
the rural homeless and how a family health approach can treat these
issues the research methodology used to study the rural homeless
micro- and macro-level solutions to rural homeless problems
Students and educators will benefit from Homelessness in Rural
America's micro- and macro-level approaches to intervention. Policy
planners will discover the further complications that have arisen
from welfare programs. As the homeless population continues to
increase, Homelessness in Rural America becomes even more
essential. The rural homeless are often overlooked in the social
sciences literature, and this book fills that void with its rare
and well-organized information.
