“…Drug use and mental ill-health appeared to have contributed to homelessness in only one case. Our results, while derived from a small sample, are consistent with research conducted elsewhere (for example, AIHW, 2011; Cosgrove and Flynn, 2005;Hulse and Kolar, 2009;Meadows-Oliver, 2003;Styron et al, 2000;Tischler, 2008;Walters and East, 2001). Women wanted to live somewhere that was stable, secure and safe, for themselves and their children; those who had achieved this goal described a consequent improvement in their sense of wellbeing and security.…”

The participants in this study revealed that despite the necessity of escaping violence to ensure safety, fleeing can also be seen as an active choice to resist ongoing oppressions.…”

“…Most of these women reported they desire more positive social connections, and this need is well documented in the literature (e.g., Cone 2006;Dashora et al 2012;Letiecq et al 1996;Tischler 2008). Cone (2006) indicated that social interactions were critical to resolving homelessness among formerly homeless mothers, and Dashora et al (2012) also described the desire of mothers in drug treatment facilities to improve their social connections.…”
