Proposed Project: Social Support for Homeless Mothers: Implications 
for Best Practices and Program Design--New

    The Health Care for the Homeless Clinicians' Network (HCHCN) of the 
National Health Care for the Homeless Council, Inc., through a 
cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Primary Health Care, Health 
Resources and Services Administration, proposes to conduct a study on 
the social support available to homeless mothers, most of whom are 
parenting children alone. The study will be of adult homeless women and 
will be conducted by convening focus groups and administering a 
questionnaire to focus group members. The study is designed to look at 
clients' life events, histories of violence, medical and physical 
illness, social support, children's needs, and services use. The 
results will help to define best practices as they relate to social 
support processes and enable HCH programs to offer the appropriate mix 
of supports necessary to help mothers transition into permanent 
housing. The participants will be recruited from ten sites of the 
national Health Care for the Homeless program.
    The estimated response burden is as follows:
