Risk factors for homelessness: A structural equation approach

Abstract: This study aims to assess the pathway relationships between adolescent adversities, adult addictive behaviours, divorce, conviction, long‐standing unemployment, disability, and homelessness. A structural equation model was estimated using data on n1 = 677 homeless men and n2 = 651 housed men of the same age and educational distribution, living in Warsaw, Poland. Retrospective adolescent adversities were found to be significantly related to the occurrence of adult homelessness (p ≤ .01). This relationship was m… Show more

“…Notably, PEH without stable housing are often released from care without specific housing or shelter support, leading to a positive feedback cycle where released PEH constantly re-enter the emergency department [5]. There exist multi-factorial causes of PEH that contribute to this feedback cycle, including structural factors related to access to medical providers, mental health support, substance use management, and social services that collectively support healthcare infrastructure for PEH [6,7].…”

“…Relationship between homelessness and health is complex and bidirectional, with older age, chronic illness, mental health problems and substance use associated with higher risk of homelessness (Caton et al, 2005;Czaderny, 2020;Fazel et al, 2014). Studies also noted up to five times higher overall mortality rates in the homeless population compared to age-standardised general population, with most excess mortality found in younger homeless people and women (Beijer et al, 2011;Nordentoft, 2003;Nusselder et al, 2013;Roy et al, 2004).…”

“…Community psychology has long acknowledged the influence of settings, systems, and societal structures in shaping human behavior and community health (O'Donnell, 2006; Toro et al, 1991). Research investigations into risk factors for homelessness have often focused on variables that may make individuals or families more vulnerable to a homeless episode (e.g., Czaderny, 2020; Hodgson et al, 2013; Tsai et al, 2013). While this line of research into individual‐level risk factors can have important service and policy implications, community psychology has much to offer in terms of factors associated with homelessness that operate beyond the individual‐level.…”
