Contemporary research has failed to explore mothers experiencing homelessness despite rapidly rising rates of the unhoused population since 2017. This thematic analysis looks at the onset of homelessness in interviews with 12 moms who are single, experiencing homelessness, and enrolled in a long-term rehousing program in South Florida.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Describe experiences of women and children in South Florida who have encountered, and are emerging from, homelessness.
Understand systemic contributions to the issue homelessness
Describe personal pathways to homelessness, including financial illiteracy, lack of familial support, and domestic violence.
