Debra Rog and John Buckner report that since the mid-1990s, there
has been continued research and policy interest in understanding
the characteristics and needs of families and children who become
homeless, especially in understanding the heterogeneity within the
population and whether a "typology" of families can be created
(i.e., distinguishing families with greater needs for services and
housing from those with lesser needs.) The authors review the
findings from recent studies on homeless families and children and
summarize the descriptive and outcome findings from evaluations of
housing and service interventions and prevention efforts. With
respect to children, research has focused on understanding and
documenting the impact of homelessness on children. Rog and Buckner
emphasize that that many of the challenges homeless families and
children confront are also experienced by families that are very
poor but not homeless, pointing to the need for further research on
how to target assistance most efficiently to minimize the incidence
and duration of homelessness for low-income families and children
in general.
