In this groundbreaking new book, Mary L. G. Theroux, Lawrence J. McQuillan, Ph.D., and other scholars take a deeper dive into what’s needed to address the homelessness crisis—and succeed! Through real-life stories, cutting-edge research, and alternative programs with metric-driven successes, Beyond Homeless provides a bold, proven roadmap for change.
With forewords from acclaimed addiction medicine specialist and TV host Dr. Drew Pinsky and licensed master social worker Scott Ackerson, the book gathers experts on every aspect of homelessness to present a stirring condemnation of the status quo.
Read it and learn:
why homelessness is such a complex problem;
how “Housing First” policies fail to treat each person as a unique individual;
how American cities can be revitalized;
and how stories of individual tragedy can be transformed into stories of inspiration and triumph.
We must always remember that at the heart of this crisis are real people—those experiencing homelessness and the communities struggling around them.
They both deserve better. This book shows the way.
