This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.

Download or read book Sociology written by David M. Newman and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Brief Sixth Edition of David Newman’s text is the streamlined version of Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life with the same goal: to be a textbook that, in the author’s words, "reads like a real book." Newman shows to see the “unfamiliar in the familiar”—to step back and see organization and predictability in their take-for-granted personal experiences. Newman uses the metaphors of “architecture” and “construction,” to help students understand that society is not something that exists “out there,” independently of themselves; it is a human creation that is planned, maintained, or altered by individuals. Instead of surveying every subfield in sociology, this text focuses on the structural features of society, the social construction of self and identity, and social inequality in the context of social institutions. The new edition includes examples and analysis of contemporary events and trends, including: The changes in our national politics brought about by the 2016 presidential election Increasing societal attention paid to fatal encounters between police and unarmed people of color or incidents of sexual harassment and assault School shootings and the debates over gun ownership The continued dramatic growth of communication technology, particularly social networking sites
Download or read book Housing America written by Emily Tumpson Molina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to explain why housing remains among the United States’ most enduring social problems, Housing America explores five of the U.S.’s most fundamental, recurrent issues in housing its population: affordability of housing, homelessness, segregation and discrimination in the housing market, homeownership and home financing, and planning. It describes these issues in detail, why they should be considered problems, the history and fundamental social debates surrounding them, and the past, current, and possible policy solutions to address them. While this book focuses on the major problems we face as a society in housing our population, it is also about the choices we make about what is valued in our society in our attempts to solve them. Housing America is appropriate for courses in urban studies, urban planning, and housing policy.

Book excerpt: Shamefully, hunger and homelessness are status quo in America today. It is common to see people sleeping on street vents, lined up at a community kitchen, or asking for change on the sidewalk. However, much remains hidden or unknown. It is true that these problems have existed for decades, but they seem to be getting worse right now. Is that the case all over the country and in all types of communities? If so, why? How can we reverse this trend? There are charities and volunteers dedicated to helping, but can -- and should -- they do it alone? Government programs help many, but the U.S. and states are cutting billions of dollars from these programs. How is this affecting our communities and low income Americans? The National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness created the 2004 Survey of Hunger and Homelessness in America to get the answers to these questions straight from the people addressing these issues on the front lines every day: emergency food and shelter providers. We hope that the results compiled here will bring light to these issues and inspire our elected officials to take action to address hunger and homelessness.
