Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s try one of our most popular databases, Academic Search Complete<\/a>. Be sure to l<\/span>imit to Scholarly (Peer reviewed) journals on the left side of the page. In the first search box, type homeless*. In the second search box, type shelter* OR housing. In the third search box, outcome* OR benefit*. The use of asterisks allows us to include every variation of the word in our search results (for example, a search for outcome* yields results including outcome and outcomes).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
