Despite billions of government dollars spent in the attempt, we are no closer than we were three decades ago to solving the problem of homelessness. Why? Tackling this question, the authors of Ending Homelessness explore the complicated and often dysfunctional relationship between efforts to address homelessness and the realities on the street. Their book, addressing a range of practical, cultural, and economic issues, brings into sharp focus the barriers to and opportunities for overcoming this persistent social challenge.
