"The knowledgeable and thoughtful authors of this book - two brilliant women who know as much as anyone in the country about the nature of homelessness and its solutions - have done a great service by taking us on a journey through the history of homelessness, how our responses have changed, and how we can end it."
--Nan Roman, President and CEO National Alliance to End Homelessness
"Shinn and Khadduri's new book is a thorough yet concise examination of what we know about the nature and causes of homelessness, and the crucial lessons learned. This critically important work provides a roadmap to restoring basic housing and income security as viable policy options, in the face of our daunting inequality divide that otherwise threatens millions with destitution and homelessness."
--Dennis Culhane, Dana and Andrew Stone Professor of Social Policy, University of Pennsylvania
"Marybeth Shinn and Jill Khadduri have combined their significant expertise to create an essential guide about the history of modern homelessness and to offer a clear path forward to end this American tragedy. Their policy recommendations on ending homelessness are culled from the best about what we know works."
--Barbara Poppe, Executive Director US Interagency Council on Homelessness, 2009-2014
"The authors of this book have a deep knowledge of its subject, and anyone with a serious interest in ending homelessness would benefit from reading it. The book describes a wide range of approaches that have been used to alleviate homelessness and provides a thoughtful assessment of the evidence on their effectiveness."
--Edgar O. Olsen, Professor of Economics & Public Policy, University of Virginia
"The book provides an excellent overview of the causes of homelessness and a hard-headed assessment of the efficacy of different policies to address it. The authors offer a clear and balanced summary of research evidence and suggest both incremental reforms to existing programs as well as major, but still politically plausible, expansions. Readers will walk away with a much richer understanding of homelessness along with some hope that with the right set of policies, government can reduce it."
--Ingrid Gould Ellen, Paulette Goddard Professor of Urban Policy and Planning, Wagner School, New York University
"As California grapples with the growing humanitarian crisis of homelessness, Shinn and Khadduri's book is eagerly anticipated by researchers and policy makers alike. Even in its draft stages, this highly credible and rigorously researched book has informed local strategies to prevent homelessness."
--Janey Rountree, Executive Director of the California Policy Lab
