Article Abstract:

Some American researchers, government agencies, and advocates for the homeless believe that a partial solution to the problem of the nation's homeless could be initiated by targeting those for whom homelessness is more than a transient problem. They believe that interventions to place those considered chronically homeless into stable housing would be an effective way of cutting the millions of dollars spent annually on health care, shelter and law enforcement expenses for these individuals.
