Homelessness: Who's Problem Is

By Ted Gottfied and Ted Gottfried

With a clear writing style that employs plenty of examples, Ted Gottfried begins his discussion by examining the history of homelessness in this country and the difficult issues surrounding the homeless, such as the difficulties involved in getting an accurate count of the homeless, and just who they are and why they are in that situation. The opposing sides of whose problem homelessness is and how the problem should be solved, as well as a discussion of welfare reform and how it affects the homeless, are presented fairly and accurately as readers are invited to formulate their own opinions. The book also includes a list of organizations to contact for more information.
