基于住房的研究记录了无家可归儿童的发展风险,但关于居住在家庭支助性住房中的儿童的信息很少,这是防止长期无家可归的一项关键战略。本研究评估了454名以前无家可归的儿童与他们的家人生活在17个支持性住房社区的心理和健康状况。调查结果表明,儿童可以很好地获得身体保健。然而,儿童面临着重大的心理社会风险,表现出行为,情感和学校的挑战。住房机构缺乏儿童心理健康方面的基础设施或专门知识。作者提出,支持性住房提供了一个宝贵的,但迄今未充分利用的机会,以支持儿童的心理社会功能。
Shelter-based studies have documented risks to homeless children's development, but scant information is available about children residing in family supportive housing, a key strategy for preventing long-term homelessness. This study assessed the psychosocial and health status of 454 formerly homeless children living with their families in 17 supportive housing communities. Findings indicated that children had good access to physical health care. However, children faced significant psychosocial risks and manifested behavioral, emotional, and school challenges. Housing agencies lacked infrastructure or expertise in children's mental health. The authors propose that supportive housing provides a valuable but hitherto underused opportunity to support children's psychosocial functioning.
