This study of 51 homeless women in Albany, New York, used in-depth personal interviews to obtain descriptive-correlational data regarding demographic characteristics, the precipitants and concomitants of homelessness, sources of income, informal support networks, current problems, and goals for the future. The diversity of problems found among these women necessitates interventions that will address the unique subgroups in the homeless population and that are tailored to the specific needs of homeless women and their children.
