Abstract

Attitudes toward homeless persons were studied in persons attending community board meetings in New York City. For these respondents, direct contact with homeless persons and occupation characterized as professional were the most important variables related to favorable attitudes toward homeless persons and the establishment of shelters. Results were compared with those of a previous study of persons employed in New York, for whom information gained from media was most related to attitudes.
