Case managers working in Health Care for the Homeless facilitate the stabilization of health, income, and housing for their homeless clients. Some of these individuals are not sufficiently impaired to qualify for Federal disability benefits; many others have disabilities which are masked or which they are not prepared to address. Published research on case management for homeless persons has largely neglected these individuals. This issue of Healing Hands focuses on the creative strategies HCH practitioners use to address the case management challenges these clients present.
