Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite attempts to end homelessness in the United States occurring over the past 10 years, homelessness has only been reduced by about 10%. This article introduces a theoretical model for why some individuals have gained housing and other types of services while others have not. This model incorporates both the political economy theory and the street-level bureaucracy theory to explain service gaps for homeless individuals. Using this model, this article explains major policies affecting agencies which serve the homeless. It also uses current research to explain how practitioners manage these constraints. Recommendations for social service practitioners are discussed.

无家可归者服务的政治经济模型

尽管在过去的10年里，美国一直试图结束无家可归现象，但无家可归现象只减少了10%左右。本文介绍了一个理论模型，解释为什么有些人获得了住房和其他类型的服务，而另一些人却没有。该模型结合了政治经济学理论和街头官僚主义理论来解释无家可归者的服务差距。利用这个模型，本文解释了影响无家可归者服务机构的主要政策。它还使用当前的研究来解释从业者如何管理这些约束。讨论了对社会服务从业者的建议。
