Sources and datasets

These are the main sources and datasets that I used during my research. If you are looking for academic papers on family and children homelessness, feel free to contact me, I read a bunch of them during the preliminary stage of this project.

Some of the data that you see in this project were calculated by me. Most of them are just simple percentages. In case you want to know from where I got those numbers, please, let me know.
