While there are ever-increasing numbers of families with young children becoming homeless, little is known about interventions which can promote homeless childrens’ resiliency. This study identifies factors that contribute to homeless children’s positive outcomes. Seventeen African-American children and their mothers were identified through an agency that serves high-risk homeless families. The children were between the ages of three and six-and-a-half.
