Description
In this groundbreaking book, Mary L. G. Theroux and Lawrence J. McQuillan show that homelessness, despite its many causes and complicating factors, is a problem that can be solved.
We must first acknowledge that there is no one-size-fits-all policy, and no amount of HUD-funded housing that will fix the crisis. Instead, a multifaceted and individualized approach, as found in these pages, is desperately needed. Years of on-the-ground research have yielded the wisdom and cold, hard stats necessary to understand homelessness—as well as a determined faith in the spirit and resilience of the human person. Read this book and learn how we can finally move beyond homelessness and find hope.
