Abstract
The body of research that examines the residential experiences of single parents and their children continues to grow. The role of specially designed housing and programs in reducing housing poverty and improving the overall condition of women’s lives, however, is unclear. In June 1993, 26 low income, single-parent women who are former residents of a transitional housing program were interviewed to determine the extent to which the housing and program were successful in helping them to meet their personal goals and the objectives of the program. The information collected from each former resident provides insights into individual, housing/program, and community resources, plus characteristics necessary to improve conditions for single mothers and their children.
