ABSTRACT

Homelessness in the United States continues to grow despite unprecedented prosperity. Even with a wide array of services, shelters are not stemming the tide. The answer is a massive recommitment by both federal and state governments to increase the steadily shrinking supply of low-income housing. The policy remedy is for every family to have an entitlement to safe, sanitary, and affordable housing. Homelessness is a national disgrace. It is both preventable and remediable.[Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service:1-800-HAWORTH.
