Social Support of Homeless and Permanently Housed Low-Income Mothers with Young Children.

Letiecq, Bethany L.

Family Relations, v45 n3 p265-72 Jul 1996

Compared the social support of 92 homeless and 115 permanently housed low-income mothers. Results reveal that homeless mothers had less contact with their friends/relatives, could count on fewer people for help and child care in times of need, and felt their social networks were less helpful than housed mothers.
