Previous literature on homelessness has focused on those living literally on the streets or in large armory-style shelters. As William maintains, such studies often overlook those homeless women—many with children—who live in small shelters and transitional living centers.\u003cp\u003eThe author draws upon interviews with homeless women, interviews with housed people, and, finally, evaluations of shelter services, philosophies, and policies to get at the causes and social construction of homelessness. \u003ci\u003eA Roof Over My Head\u003c\/i\u003e is a ground-breaking study that unveils the centrality of abuse and poverty in homeless women's lives and outlines ways in which societal responses can and should be more effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Calterone Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54185759113508,"sku":"9781607325277","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_c59f560e-2ff6-4d87-8c68-94e3dd4b5f8e.jpg?v=1780416072","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/a-roof-over-my-head-second-edition","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
