COMMUNITY CARE FOR HOMELESS FAMILIES: A PROGRAM DESIGN MANUAL

This comprehensive reference book is designed for service providers and policy-makers. The manual describes a long-term and preventive plan for reducing homelessness and improving the well-being of homeless families. It is divided into five sections, including: the problem of family homelessness; community-based program development; housing/employment; children's needs and special needs (such as mental illness/substance abuse). Each chapter presents effective principles of care, including descriptions of model programs, in a highly accessible format. The manual was first distributed by the Interagency Council on the Homeless.
