Abstract
Children living in families without homes endure multiple risks associated with poor mental health and adaptive functioning. Research over a 20-year period has demonstrated that this growing population of vulnerable children is at risk for elevated rates of internalizing and externalizing disorders and symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress. School-age children also lag behind peers due to high rates of learning disabilities and cognitive delays. This chapter outlines research in the area and provides recommendations for promoting positive mental health outcomes in precariously housed children and families.
