Abstract

Deteriorated single-room-occupancy hotels collect as tenants the destitute who are unacceptable anywhere else. There live addicts, alcoholics, the crippled, the elderly, and the mentally ill, without families. Rich and intimate group life emerges nevertheless. Dominant leaders of the groups provide a matrix of physical and emotional care. Three such leaders, their characteristics, relationships, and functions are examined.
