- Synopsis
-
This book provides insights for those in the industry, elected officials, policy makers, funders, public servants and the general public on the best ways to move from managing homelessness to ending homelessness.
While ending homelessness may seem to be a whacky or even preposterous idea, the author takes more than two decades of experience as an award winning industry leader to lay out how and why homelessness can be ended in very practical ways.
The book will provoke and teach, serving as both inspiration and an instruction manual for those serious about combatting one of the most important social issues of our time and will reshape how you think about homelessness, as well as how strategies like sheltering, street outreach and day services all play a role in ending homelessness when operated with a housing-focused lens and the right service orientation. No doubt the book will reassure some that their thinking and actions regarding homelessness are bang on, while challenging others to think and respond differently in what they do and how they invest their money. Many of the ideas in the book elaborate upon ideas that the author shares in his blog, keynote speeches and conference presentations, as well as the training series that he and his team have been offering for the past decade. If you are involved in homelessness issues or concerned about homelessness, this book is essential reading....
