AbstractFew investigations have focused on the homeless person’s understanding of what home and place mean. Most of the research has considered home as a residence and the meaning of home or place to homeowners. The goal of this case study was to explore the meaning of home, house, and place among homeless persons frequenting a daytime shelter before and after a move of the shelter to another location. Most clients and staff appeared to quickly adjust to the new space and location, although acceptance of the new homeless shelter as a home varied among clients. |
