st: dealing with 0 in cells in 2x2 tables

["Beynon, Caryl" <C.M.Beynon@ljmu.ac.uk>]

Hello All, my first post so be honest if you feel this type of question
is not suitable for this forum - any help gratefully received. 

I am building a logistic regression model but first I wish to carry out
bivarite analyses measuring the effect of each exposure on the outcome.
In my 2 by 2 table I have 0 in one cell so the odds ratio is either
infinity of 0. However, the chi square test shows that the exposure
(homelessness) is significantly associated with the outcome, so I cannot
simply ignore this variable in my bivarite and multivariate analyses.
How do people deal with this situation? 

Thanks,
Caryl
