This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.
Book Synopsis San Fransicko by : Michael Shellenberger
Download or read book San Fransicko written by Michael Shellenberger and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National bestselling author of APOCALYPSE NEVER skewers progressives for the mishandling of America’s faltering cities. Progressives claimed they knew how to solve homelessness, inequality, and crime. But in cities they control, progressives made those problems worse. Michael Shellenberger has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for thirty years. During that time, he advocated for the decriminalization of drugs, affordable housing, and alternatives to jail and prison. But as homeless encampments spread, and overdose deaths skyrocketed, Shellenberger decided to take a closer look at the problem. What he discovered shocked him. The problems had grown worse not despite but because of progressive policies. San Francisco and other West Coast cities — Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland — had gone beyond merely tolerating homelessness, drug dealing, and crime to actively enabling them. San Fransicko reveals that the underlying problem isn’t a lack of housing or money for social programs. The real problem is an ideology that designates some people, by identity or experience, as victims entitled to destructive behaviors. The result is an undermining of the values that make cities, and civilization itself, possible.

Today, however, punishing rents and the increasingly prohibitive cost of ownership have turned housing into the foremost symbol of inequality and an economy gone wrong. Nowhere is this more visible than in the San Francisco Bay Area, where fleets of private buses ferry software engineers past the tarp-and-plywood shanties of the homeless. The adage that California is a glimpse of the nation’s future has become a cautionary tale. With propulsive storytelling and ground-level reporting, New York Times journalist Conor Dougherty chronicles America’s housing crisis from its West Coast epicenter, peeling back the decades of history and economic forces that brought us here and taking readers inside the activist movements that have risen in tandem with housing costs.

Download or read book Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.

Download or read book Welcome to the Hotel California written by Leroy F. Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year Congress passes a budget, allocating funds to federal programs to include housing and homelessness programs. The reality of homelessness is more complex than its definition. People experiencing homelessness are naturally on high alert and alter their behavior that affects their routine, making it hard for them to get out of homelessness. Often, people experiencing homelessness will undergo a number of life-changing emotions, including severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress. The Hotel California is a homeless shelter. It isn't a resort that you need to have a reservation for, and there's one in every major city and rural county in our country. There are more chains of Hotel California than there are any major hotel or motel. This book describes a man's five-year struggle of living in that situation, on the treatment of guest who lived in the shelters, the discrimination against the homeless population to secure jobs, and the improprieties of funds abused by the people who run the shelters and transition homes. You can checkout anytime you like, but will you ever leave. This is my story!

Download or read book More Than Animals written by Sam Gallucci and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-11 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We've branded the term "homeless" in a way that immediately segregates the population unfairly. Economic discrimination is the cancer eating away at our communities. No group is more at risk than those without a home. The state and the general population have determined that if you don't have a house, you do not have access to the same rights as everyone else. This is a gross abuse and horrendous stain on our collective conscience. This book explores tried and true methods that have proved effective for alleviating homelessness with the potential to be scaled to statewide solutions. Those suffering from homelessness are more than animals. No matter their background, psychological state, or the choices they made that landed them on the streets, people without homes are human beings, worthy of dignity, respect, and hope, Now is the time to make our communities safe once more for all our citizens, housed and unhoused, beginning with our "People First" plan. Now is the time to provide new housing opportunities, education, medical, and mental health treatment to reintegrate those without homes back into society. Now is the time to advocate for new and innovative solutions.
