Despite the benefits of using emergency shelter, many homeless individuals remain unsheltered. The author argues that it is not enough for services to be available to the homeless. These services must also be accessible so that homeless individuals obtain the benefits they provide. Qualitative interviews with homeless women (N = 39) revealed that the inaccessibility of emergency shelter, despite the availability of it, discouraged women from seeking and attaining shelter. Interventions that address barriers to accessing services will encourage more homeless women to seek and use shelter. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Poverty is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
