The National Center on Family Homelessness has created the following fact sheets to inform policy makers, service providers, funders and the general pubic about the issues facing homeless children and families.
This fact sheet provides a general overview of information from the Worcester Family Research Project. It compares the characteristics of homeless and low-income housed women and their children, identifies risk and protective factors for family homelessness, describes the natural course and consequences of homeless and residential instability among low-income families, and examines the impact of homelessness and poverty on children.
