Editor Arthur Gillard helps readers to explore issues related to homelessness. Through articles from a variety of sources, this book explores topics like tent cities as a temporary answer to long-term housing problem, and the impact of “housing first” approaches. Readers will evaluate whether or not giving money to panhandlers helps the chronically homeless, and the long-term effect of homelessness on families. They will learn intelligent ways to speak out about homelessness. Essay sources include the National Coalition for the Homeless, Colorado Springs Gazette, Anna Nussbaum Keating, and Hubert G. Locke.
