N2  - This article explicates, within a sample of homeless adults, the relationship between self-care agency, self-care, and well-being, while controlling for select basic conditioning factors. Self-care is found to explain 30% of the variance in current well-being. Self-esteem and affect balance, along with the power components of self-care agency, are found to explain 25% of the variance in self-care and, together with select basic conditioning factors, to explain 54% of its variance. Affect is proposed as an energy disposition, a dimension of self-care agency. Recommendations are made to strengthen the homeless individual’s self-care agency.<p />
