Are There Different Types of Homeless Families? A Typology of Homeless Families Based on Cluster Analysis.

Danseco, Evangeline R.; Holden, E. Wayne

Family Relations, v47 n2 p159-65 Apr 1998

Different types of homeless families (N=180) are identified empirically, and variations in outcomes for children are explored. Cluster analysis distinguished three groups of families participating in a comprehensive health-care program for children in homeless families. Results, clinical implications, and directions for more sophisticated multivariate models are discussed. (Author/EMK)
