Abstract

ABSTRACT Day shelter programs are an important resource for people experiencing homelessness, offering respite from inclement weather, social stigma, victimization, and access to essential services and resources. Creating functional day shelter spaces requires that staff, services, and facilities support the needs of this vulnerable and marginalized population. Little guidance, however, is available regarding the design of day shelter spaces that support service engagement and positive service outcomes. This systematic review was conducted to support the development of a new day shelter in Fort Worth, Texas, identifying and reviewing interdisciplinary resources relevant to the design of these facilities. Based on the review, a preliminary taxonomy emphasizing day shelter client safety, security, dignity and health and well-being is proposed. Additional discussion identifies practical considerations affecting the implementation of the taxonomy, design priorities, and how the taxonomy was applied to the design of the Fort Worth day shelter.

创造安全空间：为无家可归者设计日间庇护所

摘要日间庇护所计划是无家可归者的重要资源，为他们提供了摆脱恶劣天气、社会耻辱、受害以及获得基本服务和资源的机会。创建功能性日间庇护所需要工作人员、服务和设施来满足弱势和边缘化人群的需求。然而，关于支持服务参与和积极服务成果的日间庇护所空间的设计，几乎没有可用的指导。进行这项系统审查是为了支持在德克萨斯州沃斯堡开发一个新的日间庇护所，确定并审查与这些设施设计相关的跨学科资源。在此基础上，提出了一个初步的分类法，强调日间庇护所客户的安全、保障、尊严以及健康和福祉。额外的讨论确定了影响分类法实施的实际考虑因素、设计优先级，以及如何将分类法应用于沃斯堡日间庇护所的设计。
