Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of moving toward a national policy to end homelessness is crucial. In this striking examination of the roles that homeless people and the U.S. government play in causing and curtailing the escalating phenomena of homelessness, Edna Molina-Jackson asserts that there is a great need to alter the socio-economic structures that generate extreme and entrenched forms of poverty that lead to homelessness. Homeless Not Hopeless explores the role social networks play in the daily survival of homeless Latino and African American men. Using a qualitative research design, author Molina-Jackson observes how these men initiate, participate in, and maintain social networks and how these networks function. The findings support a more empowering view of homeless men as active, rational, and competent actors engaged in negotiating their social world. Members rely on social networks composed of a hierarchy of casual and intimate affiliations. The networks of Americanized Latinos and African Americans facilitate their integration into a subculture of street life, while those of recent-immigrant Latinos revolve around their struggles to find work, avoid deportation, and enlist the support of paisanos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book/play was written to give those who seek their purpose in society some hope to cope in a world that's so unevenly divided. Life becomes difficult for those who understand their footprints must be left in the sands to remain hopeful.We wrote Breaking the Soul of a Folk from our own experience. This book/play gives a face to the homeless and explains why we, as a civilized nation, should care. We added our poetry and illustrations to give our readers a fuller picture of the concept(s) that we are trying to convey. Finally, we want our readers to UNDERSTAND that equality is for every woman and man as we continue to fight until leaders set their standards and qualifications to advance all races regardless of their previous economic condition.So, we included our play entitled In Search of My Soul to show our readers why we feel that we must stop designing standards to exclude the homeless and stop allowing programs funding that treat them as if they are criminals. What our ancestor wrote earlier still holds true today. This is that the homeless deserve the right to be treated with dignity and be afforded the right to seek their individual purpose. You see, even the homeless will have to come and be judged; for one thing is for certain and that's DEATH, which is everyone's FINAL CURTAIN.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title provides a one-stop resource for understanding the crisis of homelessness in the United States. It covers risk factors for homelessness, societal attitudes about the homeless, and public and private resources designed to prevent homelessness and help those in need. There are a number of questions to be answered when addressing the subject of homelessness in the United States. What are the primary causes of homelessness? What are the economic and socioeconomic factors that have an impact on homeless people? What demographic trends can be identified in homeless populations? Is the U.S. addressing the needs and concerns of homeless people adequately? Where are the areas with the highest homeless populations? What can be done to help homeless people who live with mental illness and/or addiction problems? Homelessness in America: A Reference Handbook answers all of these questions and more. It thoroughly examines the history of homelessness in the U.S., shining a light on the key issues, events, policies, and attitudes that contribute to homelessness and shape the experience of being homeless. It places special emphasis on exploring the myriad problems that force people into homelessness, such as inadequate levels of affordable housing, struggles with substance abuse, and gaps in the U.S.' social welfare system. In addition, it explains why some demographic groups are at heightened risk of homelessness.

Book excerpt: NYPD Detective Brian McKenna is back where he belongs--hunting down a mysterious killer who preys upon the city's most forgotten members. At first blush, it seems as if these homeless men have frozen to death on the city streets. But this succession of deaths seems too suspicious for McKenna to ignore. McKenna makes some curious findings: all the victims were HIV-positive, and all were seen taking their last drink from a bottle of wine given them by a gaunt, black-clad man who goes by the name "Hyde." Who is this sinister figure--and why is he killing harmless men who are already at death's door? A hell-bent McKenna must chace the murderer from the streets of Manhattan through Europe and finally to Costa Rica to uncover the astounding answer. With first-hand experience and masterful storytelling skills, former NYPD Capitan Dan Mahoney presents his most thrilling work to date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because they're small, they're easy to overlook. Because their voices don't carry far, it's hard to hear them. We'd rather not look too closely or listen too carefully. And if we don't see them, maybe they'll just go away. But the invisible homeless cannot simply fly away to never-never land, or pull themselves up by their bootstraps, or make a wish upon a star. These homeless people are children, and they are not always in the inner cities, as Yvonne Vissing shows in this poignant study of families, housing, and poverty. As many as a third of our nation's homeless are found in rural and small-town America. They are all too commonly out of sight-and out of mind. Homelessness in small towns and rural areas is on the rise. Drawing on interviews with and case studies of three hundred children and their families, with supporting statistics from federal, state, and private agencies, Vissing illustrates the impact this social problem has upon education, health, and the economy. Families vividly describe the ways they have fallen through cracks in the social structure, from home ownership into homelessness. Looking toward the future, Vissing asks if homeless children are destined to become dysfunctional adults and provides a sixteen-year-old girl's moving testimony of the vagabond life her homeless family led. While the economy and the very nature of the family have changed over past decades, housing, education, and human service industries have failed to adapt. Vissing provides a planning model for improving support networks within communities and challenges Americans with a fundamental philosophical question: Do homeless children merit fullscale social intervention? Ultimately, Out of Sight, Out of Mind compels us not merely to voice concerns for family and community values, but also to assert this commitment consciously through improved essential services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being homeless in one’s homeland is a colonial legacy for many Indigenous people in settler societies. The construction of Commonwealth nation-states from colonial settler societies depended on the dispossession of Indigenous peoples from their lands. The legacy of that dispossession and related attempts at assimilation that disrupted Indigenous practices, languages, and cultures—including patterns of housing and land use—can be seen today in the disproportionate number of Indigenous people affected by homelessness in both rural and urban settings. Essays in this collection explore the meaning and scope of Indigenous homelessness in the Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They argue that effective policy and support programs aimed at relieving Indigenous homelessness must be rooted in Indigenous conceptions of home, land, and kinship, and cannot ignore the context of systemic inequality, institutionalization, landlessness, among other things, that stem from a history of colonialism. "Indigenous Homelessness: Perspectives from Canada, New Zealand and Australia" provides a comprehensive exploration of the Indigenous experience of homelessness. It testifies to ongoing cultural resilience and lays the groundwork for practices and policies designed to better address the conditions that lead to homelessness among Indigenous peoples.
