Homeless shelter policies for women in an urban environment.

A survey of shelters serving women in Chicago (N = 43) identified admission criteria, policies and services, estimated the number of homeless women in childbearing years served by the shelters, the number who were pregnant or mothers with children, and identified unmet health needs and health services provided. The majority (64%) of the women using shelters were African American and there was great variability in shelter policies. Women with male children more than seven years old, pregnant women and substance abusers were less likely to be admitted.

Homeless women's perceptions of their situation.

While a plethora of data describes homeless women's demographic characteristics and health status, a paucity of data exists on homeless women's perceptions of their housing situation. This exploratory-descriptive study of 70 shelter-residing women expands knowledge of homeless women. Content analysis of focus groups revealed that homelessness meant loss of autonomy-marginal control over their lives and uncertainly about their own and their children's future. Loss of autonomy was manifested as mental strain: feeling depressed, worried, and scared. They were especially concerned about the impact of shelter-living on their children. Shelter-living was not viewed as child-friendly.
