Abstract
Homeless children living in shelters constitute a special population with complex and varied health care needs. Specific problem areas include nutritional, educational, and developmental deficiencies. The purpose of this article is to provide the reader with a basic understanding of the health issues involved, as well as to present the broader social and economic factors. Primary health care providers, especially nurse practitioners, can offer specific services to this population. In addition, they can participate in further study of the situation and contribute to the formation of public policy.
