Six years after displacement by a HOPE VI project this research examines residents who returned to the redeveloped community and residents who decided to keep their vouchers and were living in private sector housing. Respondents were compared on the following variables: application process and decision to move back, satisfaction with housing, material hardships, and perception of economic well-being. The study employed a static group comparison research design. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 56 respondents through five focus groups.

This article presents findings from a qualitative study of 14 individuals residing in extended-stay hotels after housing displacement. Framed in ecosystems and structuration theory, the purpose of this study was to understand social service barriers experienced by help-seeking residents. Participants were engaged in in-depth interviews and asked about challenges faced when they reached out for assistance to prepare for stable housing. Reported barriers included negative interactions with social service personnel, cumbersome agency processes, and insufficient/inappropriate resources. Hotel residents identified guidance, compassion, and advocacy as interventions practitioners can use to support client transitions to stable housing.

This mixed methodology study examines the perceptions of key constituents regarding methods for effectively integrating aging content into the foundation curriculum of the BSW and MSW program at the University of Georgia School of Social Work. Students were asked to complete a survey to determine their perception of geriatric content that existed within the foundation coursework. Following an analysis of the survey results, eight semi-structured focus group discussions were conducted with a purposeful sample of students, faculty, field instructors, social work alumni, older adults from the community, and representatives from aging agencies. The intention of these focus groups was to …

Exploring "Home" At An Assisted Living Facility: Looking Through The Residents' Lenses With Photovoice, Terri Lewinson, V Robinson-Dooley
Terri Lewinson
Purpose: An increasing number of older adults are moving into assisted living facilities when living independently becomes difficult. For some residents, the transition to and settlement in these facilities can negatively impact psychological well-being. Successful transition into an assisted living facility occurs when a resident feels “at home” in their new environment (Cutchin, Chang & Owen, 2005). It is important to understand residents' perceptions of the assisted living facility while they reconcile the loss of previous homes. Although a growing body of literature exists in this area, there is limited research on how African American older adults perceive the assisted …

Capturing Environmental Affordances: Low-Income Families Identify Positive Characteristics Of A Hotel Housing Solution, Terri Lewinson
Capturing Environmental Affordances: Low-Income Families Identify Positive Characteristics Of A Hotel Housing Solution, Terri Lewinson
Terri Lewinson
This qualitative study describes the positive characteristics of an extended-stay hotel as identified by low-income families that resided there. Interviews were conducted with ten hotel residents using a semi-structured interview guide and participant photographs to elicit a deeper understanding of experiencing home at a hotel. Framed in the theoretical perspective of environmental affordances, findings suggest that despite discomforts of the hotel environment, residents were still able to enjoy family independence, social engagement, a sense of safety and connection to a community context. The findings of this study may help practitioners gain a balanced perspective of non-ideal housing conditions for planning …
Residents' Coping Strategies In An Extended Stay Hotel Home, Terri Lewinson
Residents' Coping Strategies In An Extended Stay Hotel Home, Terri Lewinson
Terri Lewinson
Purpose: Housing affordability has been a chronic problem for many low-income families even before the current economic crisis, which has resulted in an enduring season of housing foreclosures and evictions (Wardrip, Pelletiere, & Crowley, 2009). Many families have been displaced and are now moving from one motel or extended-stay hotel to the next as a housing solution (Eckholm, 2009; Jenkins, 2009; LeBlanc, 2008). The experience of shelter displacement is richly represented in the literature (Delaney, 2004; Manzo, Kleit, & Couch, 2008; Moorer, 2006). However, the experiences of families coping with residential stress in extended-stay hotels are not as well known. …

Liminal Living At An Extended Stay Hotel: Feeling "Stuck" In A Housing Solution, Terri Wingate-Lewinson, June Hopps, Patricia Reeves
Terri Lewinson
As a result of unaffordable housing, many of America’s work- ing poor are forced to seek shelter in hotels to avoid homeless- ness. The concept of liminality has been used in discussions of place to describe the subjective experience of feeling in-between two states of being. Research is scant on the liminal experi- ences of low-income hotel residents, who are culturally invis- ible in society. This paper draws from data qualitatively collected via semi-structured interviews from ten low-income residents living in an extended-stay hotel. Descriptions of these residen- tial experiences are presented along with recommendations for social workers practicing with …

This temporary accommodation provides a furnished home environment with resources such as a kitchenette, bed, heating/air conditioning, and room services with one payment that can be made weekly or monthly without a credit check or rent deposit. Despite these conveniences, limited space and lack of privacy can cause challenges for families. This qualitative study examined coping strategies 10 individuals used to manage environmental concerns living in an extendedstay hotel.
