The report "The Seeds of Exclusion" details research conducted by The Salvation Army on the causes of homelessness and social exclusion by interviewing 450 people in their homeless centers between 2006 and 2008. It found that many experienced poor family relationships or homelessness as children or difficulties adjusting after living in controlled environments like prison. The Salvation Army calls for more help for families, better mental healthcare for the homeless, and more support for those transitioning from controlled settings. It also urges recognition of the voluntary sector's role and says The Salvation Army will help through new programs.
