Abstract
ABSTRACT This mixed-method study examined a rural homeless shelter serving families (a historically understudied population) and explored what factors (i.e., demographic, mental health, and social) influence whether an individual was successful in graduating shelter programming. Survey data was collected from 92 participants. Regression analysis tested demographics and a range of factors as predictors for successfully graduating the program. Findings indicated that education, social support, and income influenced one’s ability to successfully graduate. Additionally, qualitative interviews (N = 11) highlighted programmatic supports (i.e., case management, parenting classes, and moral reconation therapy) along with sociocultural barriers concerning successful program completion.
