Homelessness among Formerly Incarcerated Men: Patterns and Predictors

Author

  • Brianna Remster

Abstract

This study investigates patterns of homeless shelter use among formerly incarcerated men for nearly eight years postrelease and risk factors associated with pattern variation. I use life course theory and administrative data from Pennsylvania to identify four distinct forms of homelessness among formerly incarcerated men: persistent homelessness beginning soon after release, a short spell of homelessness years after release, long periods of homelessness years after release, and intermittent homelessness. The results also indicate that risk factors such as age, race, drug dependency, and full sentence completion are better at distinguishing whether formerly incarcerated men become homeless than they are at predicting what kind of homelessness the men experience.
