’Homelessness Unseen Lives’ presents a comprehensive examination of the global housing crisis, challenging conventional wisdom about who experiences homelessness and why it persists. Drawing from five years of extensive field research across urban and rural communities, the book reveals how millions of people worldwide face housing instability due to complex interconnected factors including economic inequality, mental health challenges, and systemic failures rather than personal shortcomings.
Through a powerful combination of statistical analysis and personal narratives, the book weaves together three crucial threads: economic mechanisms driving housing instability, the relationship between mental health and homelessness, and the impact of social perceptions on perpetuating the crisis. The research spans multiple disciplines, incorporating data from housing authorities, healthcare providers, and perhaps most importantly, the firsthand accounts of individuals experiencing homelessness themselves.
The book progresses logically from establishing the current landscape of homelessness to examining various intervention strategies, culminating in a framework for sustainable solutions. What sets this work apart is its evidence-based approach to solutions, analyzing successful programs from multiple countries while remaining grounded in practical implementation. By connecting social policy, public health, and urban planning, it offers valuable insights for policymakers, social service professionals, and engaged citizens seeking to address housing instability in their communities.
