Summary:

Overburdened and underfunded, even the best shelters have a hard time providing adequate services for the adults who depend on them. The children of these troubled families, however, face even more hurdles; the shelter experience often puts them at risk of disease and tremendous emotional stress. Preserving Childhood for Children in Shelters provides useful "how-to" information to help shelters create a safe, healthful, and supportive environment for their youngest residents.
