Reviews
The book is a valuable resource for those interested in how cities have succeeded in tackling some of the causes and consequences of homelessness. . . . It offers a refreshing hands-on contribution that not only identifies the problems around homelessness but, crucially, provides specific examples and evidence from many different settings about what can be done to overcome it. * LSE Review of Books * Its real-world examples provide digestible and valuable information to the public-especially to advocates who are beginning a vocation in the field. . . . The book demonstrates that, thanks to the passion and determination of homeless-service system actors, innovative approaches in outreach and housing-first models have emerged and been successful. * Stanford Social Innovation Review *
