Books

  • A compassionate and practical guide that combines thorough analysis of America's homelessness crisis with research-based solutions, offering readers a roadmap to meaningful action at individual, community, and policy levels. This book challenges us to move beyond "walking by" our unhoused neighbors and provides concrete strategies for ending homelessness while reclaiming our collective humanity.

  • This research grounded book debunks common misconceptions about homelessness and demonstrates that housing market conditions—not mental illness, drug use, or poverty—are the primary drivers of regional variation in homelessness rates. It provides a clear framework for understanding why rates differ dramatically between cities and offers targeted policy solutions for different regional contexts.

  • Following eight families as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads, this book transforms our understanding of poverty and reveals how eviction has become a way of life for many poor families while offering fresh ideas for solutions.
