The Visible Poor Homelessness in the United States Hardcover - 1992

by Blau, Joel

  • Used
  • very good
  • Hardcover

Taking an in-depth look at the causes of homelessness in the U.S., Blau debunks the convenient myths that most homeless are crazy, drug addicts, or lazy misfits who brought their suffering upon themselves. He argues that current government policies at every level are mired in pointless headcounting and quick-fix solutions that don't deal with the underlying causes.
