“…In fact, it is commonly agreed that poverty is shared by the vast majority of individuals experiencing homelessness (Johnsen and Watts, 2014), as it is related, among other factors, to low income and lack of material resources (Sharam and Hulse, 2014). In Spain, the consequences of the Great Recession led to a scenario with an increase in inequality due to the worsening of the situation of the most vulnerable groups and the inability of public policies to reduce those growing concerns (Cabrera and García-Pérez, 2020;. Individuals experiencing homelessness were particularly affected by this situation: in 2022 they stand at 28,552, with an increase of 30 percentage points since 2005 (INE, 2022).…”

This work adopts different approaches to analyse situations of poverty and extreme poverty in Spain during the last decade, considering different monetary thresholds, measures of severe material deprivation and the combination of both. The determining factors of these situations and the patterns that act as a link between extreme poverty and homelessness are also examined. The results of the study show that for the most restrictive thresholds of 10 per cent and 20 per cent of the median equivalised disposable income the smallest variations during the series are observed, confirming that situations of such deep poverty are not influenced by the cycle since they do not respond to economic stimuli. The determinants of extreme poverty suggest that public policies should be target towards high-risk groups, such as single person households, households with children, younger individuals, individuals with a low educational attainment, and of foreign nationality. Finally, an interesting result is that the profile of individuals in situations of consistent poverty have the greatest similarities to the group of people experiencing homelessness.

“…In Spain, the number of people affected by this situation continues to grow. The consequences of the Great Recession led to a scenario with an increase in inequality due to the worsening of the situation of the most vulnerable groups, particularly high unemployment rates, and the inability of public policies to reduce those growing concerns (Cabrera & García-Pérez, 2020).

People living homeless are quite heterogeneous groups, including different subgroups with specific characteristics that vary substantially. Within this group, women living homeless are an understudied subgroup with specific necessities which in most cases have not been addressed in general studies related to the group. The present study examines determining factors that influence the levels of overall happiness and outlook for the future of women living homeless. To fulfill this objective, a survey was conducted on a group of women living homeless in the city of Madrid (Spain). The results of a structural equation modeling analysis found that having a larger and stable social support network, loneliness, and good health conditions without any problems associated with drug abuse are the main factors influencing their levels of overall happiness and their outlook for the future. The proposed model has also shown that stressful life events play an important role in the analysis, unlike economic aspects, which have a limited impact on their situation. This article provides new information and innovation in research about homelessness, in particular women living homeless, thus being important for extending and replicating its findings to an international context.
