Abstract:

In this article, I analyze the emergence of New York City’s infrastructure of homeless shelters dialectically, relationally, and historically. The members of Boogie Down Productions met in an incipient New York City homeless shelter in the mid-1980s. Their relationship and music is a window into a critical political consciousness of men living in homeless shelters because the artists gave expression to an emergent structure of feeling of resistance taking hold during intense changes to New York’s political economy and its institutions. The paper first analyzes homeless policy and infrastructur

Abstract:

Abstract Background Detroit, Michigan has a poverty rate nearly three times the national average. Homeless shelters are at risk for infectious outbreaks due to reduced healthcare access for residents, compounded by overcrowding, hygienic challenges, lack of resources, and transient nature of residents. Prior to the first reported COVID-19 case in Michigan, the Detroit Health Department prioritized screening of both asymptomatic and symptomatic homeless residents residing in the city’s shelters. Early identification of COVID-19 positive cases allowed for implementation of strategies to halt fur

Background/Context This study contributes to the literature on the schooling of homeless and highly mobile students. Although previous work has detailed the demographics of homelessness, the effects of homelessness on academic progress, and particular legal issues in homeless education, this research focused on how individual and institutional relationships influence homeless education. Purpose/Objectives The purpose of the study was to develop deeper understanding of how schools and shelters helped create educational social capital for students and families who were experiencing homelessness.

AbstractAlthough cats are extremely common, pet owners seem to have a poor understanding of their natural behaviour and needs and a large number end up in cat shelters.

We found 62 cat shelters during 2006; the year in which this study was conducted.

The problems result in mistrust of the shelter and a diminishment of services to a vulnerable population. Sociologically framed questions serve as a tool for the use of the case meth

Abstract:

These portraits were taken in shelters, soup kitchens, transitional housing, and on city streets. The intent was to record the faces of the homeless, capture their humanity, and show the diverse range of people who become homeless. Photographs were also selected to show the different kinds or stages of homelessness: the recently dislocated and the episodically, as well as the chronically, homeless.

Abstract:

The number of individuals who are homeless is rising, particularly among families (typically mothers) with preschool children. This study examined the speech-language abilities of 25 mothers and their preschool children residing in urban homeless shelters. Results of standardized testing revealed that the majority of the mothers and their preschool children presented with overall language deficits or delays which were present in at least 1 of 4 language modalities: auditory comprehension, verbal expression, reading, and writing. Clinical and research implications of these results for both the

Abstract:

The earthquake of 26 December 2003 destroyed about 85% of the housing stock and left up to 75,600 people in the city of Bam homeless. With the convergence of migrants from nearby villages, it is estimated that 155,000 people were in need of shelter in Bam and surrounding villages. A municipal governmental Master Plan for the reconstruction of Bam was completed in September 2004. Permanent housing construction in the city of Bam began in October 2004, and is scheduled to take three to five years. In the interim, intermediate shelter construction in Bam and reconstruction of permanent shelter in

Harris Health System’s Healthcare for the Homeless Program (HHS-HHP) screens patients for CRC using strategies such as on-site stool collection to promote completion of fecal immunochemical tests (FIT). According to the HHS screening algorithm, there are currently no targeted interventions at HHS-HHP to address diagnostic follow-up of FIT-positive patients who require
