abstract: 'Women represent a growing segment of the homeless population; however,
little work has examined employment among an important segment of this
population: women unaccompanied by children. This study addressed the
following research questions: Which common employment barriers (that is,
physical health, mental health, substance abuse, or domestic violence)
influence employment of unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness?
How do these barriers influence the employment experiences of the women?
The authors analyzed a cross-sectional sample of unaccompanied women in
one community''s homeless management information system (n = 1,331). Then
they completed semistructured interviews (n = 20) with a subsample of
these women. Logistic regression analyses indicated that no employment
barrier significantly related to current employment status. Interview
data indicated that women perceived physical and mental health issues as
barriers to full-time employment. Women reported a struggle to maintain
housing even when they had employment. Integrated quantitative and
qualitative analyses identified how agency data regarding barriers and
employment may miss central barriers (for example, stigma, physical
presentation) and employment engagement. Study findings provide support
for programs that address housing and current barriers before other
employment barriers, the importance of improving federal measures, and
recommendations to strengthen agency-level data collection to inform
program development and community-based research.'
