Homeless Women: A Study of Eighteen Women Who Were Known to the Village Haven Half-Way House New York City, 1963–1964
Abstract
The Village Haven, a half-way house for women released from the House of Detention provides a temporary shelter for women without homes. The Village Haven program attempts to create an atmosphere conducive for treatment and rehabilitation. In 1963 approximately 9,000 females passed through the doors of the Women's House of Detention, located in Greenwich Village, New York City. Many were there for only a short period of time, awaiting trial, or a penitentiary sentence. But most were sentenced from a six months to a three year term.
