Analysis of the housing dynamics and individual characteristics of a sample of 670 participants in the New Orleans Homeless Substance Abusers Program reveals substantial diversity with respect to income, education, and occupational attainment.

The need to focus concurrently on both structural and individual causes of homelessness is emphasized
