Experiencing the reality of homelessness by clients of the St. Paul´s house in České Budějovice city charity
 HORALOVÁ, Nela
Homelessness is a social phenomenon whose consequences affect an entire group of people and which is a part of life of the society. My thesis deals with the reality of homelessness experienced by clients the House of St. Paul in České Budějovice. The aim is to determine the causes of homelessness among clients of the House of St. Paul and learn how clients experience the reality of homelessness. In the theoretical part, I focus on specific problems associated with homelessness in the Czech Republic and services that are provided to the affected people. This is followed by a description of the structure and activities of a particular facility designated for homeless people, the House of St. Paul in České Budějovice. In the practical part I focus on finding the most common causes of this problem. The most common causes of homelessness among the surveyed clients were loss of a job or housing, alcohol and drug addiction, inability to successfully rejoin society after leaving a prison or a family breakdown. At the same time I also examine how these people experience their complicated situation. I have found out that none of the clients is satisfied with this situation, and that most of them are trying to change their life. They are looking for a job and a home, but the reintegration of these people back into normal life is very problematic. I work with qualitative research. Data for the research were gained directly from clients of the House of St. Paul through structured interviews. The interview consisting of nine questions was held with a total of ten clients. I think that this thesis could help reveal the causes of homelessness and how the people experience their difficult situation and how they try to fight it. And because the House of St. Paul is the only facility of this type in the region, this work could become a motivation for other cities to establish a similar facility.
