AbstractRecent empirical studies demonstrate that faith is a resource that can contributeto personal resilience in difficult life events. Since few studies have focusedon how women draw on their faith to cope with homelessness and associated lifestressors, this study is an attempt to fill this gap. By examiningwomen’s accounts of experience with homelessness and homeless shelters inCroatia, we explore the role of faith in their lives. Using qualitative methods,to explore the meanings homeless women attribute to their experiences of faith,we discuss whether these experiences buffer stress and facilitate coping withadversity. It is recommended that future studies should further explore homelesspeople’s expressions of faith to gain insight into the scope, depth anddiversity of these resources.
