Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct services are provided to homeless individuals and families in a variety of settings, including emergency shelters, transitional housing, health-care clinics, food pantries, meal distribution centers, mental health and alcohol/drug programs, and community drop-in centers. However, the homeless shelter is the most common location for occupational therapy service provision (Petrenchik, 2006). Shelter services are variable but may range from basic beds and meals to more comprehensive programs that include case management, housing assistance, substance abuse treatment, and job placement (Nooe & Patterson, 2010).
