Abstract

Using survey data collected in 2011 from two singles’ homeless shelters in Fairfax County, Virginia, this study discusses the relationship between levels of educational attainment and homelessness among current homeless shelter residents. The research concludes with a discussion of the results and presents implications for the field of homelessness. This thesis is slated to be a reference and resource for a research on homelessness prevention strategies.
