Environmental Impacts on Psychological Well-Being for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness (thesis)

Abstract

This paper will briefly review certain aspects of the lived space for individuals experiencing homelessness. Specifically, the purpose of this review is to understand the multitudinous consequences of environmental stressors on people during a time of homelessness. My anecdotal impression is that the general populace is relatively unaware of the adverse effects of environmental stimuli upon people facing housing insecurity; thus, I hope to outline the ways in which certain specific stressors impact the psychological well-being of these people.
