How the United States is addressing homelessness is clearly not working well. But there are many different programs, strategies, and ways to prevent homelessness in the first place. There are many better ways to work with communities, organizations, and individuals when homelessness does occur so that homelessness doesn’t have to result in expensive, pervasive and life-long trauma. In the book, Changing The Paradigm of Homelessness (Routledge 2020), readers will come away with a better understanding of the history of homelessness, how it came to pass that we are addressing homelessness in the way we are now, and countless ideas about what individuals, organizations, and communities could do about it that would result in more positive, beneficial outcomes for everyone.
