‘Homelessness Crisis’ offers a comprehensive examination of one of society’s most pressing challenges, exploring how economic forces, social factors, and systemic issues combine to create and perpetuate homelessness in modern cities.
Through a data-driven approach, the book dismantles common misconceptions about homelessness while revealing how wage stagnation, housing affordability challenges, and the erosion of mental health infrastructure have contributed to this growing crisis over the past five decades.
The book’s unique strength lies in its multidisciplinary analysis, weaving together economic research, public health data, and urban planning perspectives to create a complete picture of homelessness. By examining successful initiatives like Housing First programs and rapid rehousing efforts, it demonstrates how various cities and countries have made meaningful progress in addressing this complex issue.
Personal narratives and case studies from major urban centers bring statistical analyses to life, making the content accessible to both policy professionals and general readers. Structured in three main sections, the text progresses from establishing historical context and current scope to evaluating existing interventions and proposing innovative solutions.
Rather than advocating for a single approach, it presents evidence-based analyses of multiple strategies, acknowledging that effective responses must be tailored to local conditions. The book serves as both a scholarly resource and a practical guide, offering concrete frameworks for addressing homelessness while maintaining analytical rigor and objectivity.
