It is generally believed that homeless individuals - particularly those with substance abuse problems or mental illness - are unable to access the full range of available benefits and community services on their own. Community service providers have increasingly looked towards case management as the intervention choice for solving this problem.

Suggests that the reasons for negative findings may lie with the evaluations as much as the interventions and makes suggestions for improving future evaluations of case management effectiveness.
