초록/해제  
요약 : Homeless adults, specifically chronically homeless adults, experience difficulties accessing a variety of social welfare services. This is a quantitative analysis of the experiences of homeless adults regarding their access to multiple human service systems (substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, medical care, housing assistance and income supports) and the barriers to service they experience. The purpose of this study is to determine which factors contributed to involvement in human service systems by homeless people and if there are differences based upon demographic characteristics, type of service and homelessness status.
초록/해제  
요약 : This study utilized data collected from a retrospective chart review of client case records at a Drop-In Center for homeless adults in a suburban county in New York. Data utilized for this study consisted of individual client information collected by Drop-In Center staff during the regular course of operations during the 24 month period preceding this study. Data were analyzed to examine if there were differences in service usage between chronically and episodically homeless people, if there were predictors of human service acceptance or denial for chronically and episodically homeless adults and if there were factors beyond homelessness status that predicted successfully linking to services within this sample.
초록/해제  
요약 : The data utilized for this study possessed both similarities and differences to other samples of homeless people. The large proportion of chronically homeless people, specifically female chronically homeless people, and the extensive service use histories of this population provided insight into gaps in service for these individuals. The data indicated large numbers of voluntary service referrals and denials among the sample, allowing for the possibility that resistance to service is less important than the availability of, and access to, appropriate and flexible services to the sample under study. Several additional factors were associated with access to service within this sample. These factors included the presence or absence of a dual diagnosis, social supports and race. These results suggest that future research should move away from an individual deficit model of homelessness and instead examine effective mechanisms to streamline human service provision to minimize the impact of categorical social welfare systems on homeless, and other marginalized, populations.
