This important text provides a comprehensive survey of homelessness in America: its scope and causes, its diverse populations, and the array of responses at the individual, community, and systems levels. Expert contributors explore the links between trauma and homelessness, the cycle of homelessness and health/mental health problems, and barriers preventing people from accessing services. Case studies of effective programs and practices focus on science-based interventions, broad understanding of client needs, and close coordination between systems and agencies. Finally, specialized chapters discuss issues and experiences common to homeless youth and young adults, including housing instability on college campuses and empowerment-based strategies for engaging youth voice in programming .
Included in the coverage:
- Homelessness and health disparities: a health equity lens
- Affordable housing and housing policy responses to homelessness
- Street talk: homeless discourses and the politics of service provision
- Multisectoral collaborations to address homelessness
- Trauma-informed care in homelessness service settings: challenges and opportunities
- Incorporating youth voice into services for young people experiencing homelessness
Homelessness Prevention and Intervention in Social Work fills a critical gap in the social work curriculum as a main or a supplementary text. It also makes an accessible resource for clinicians and community practitioners seeking current knowledge on the topic, practical approaches to working with clients experiencing homelessness, and useful information for effective program and policy design.

About the Author
Heather Larkin, Ph.D., is an associate professor at the University at Albany (SUNY) School of Social Welfare and Director of the National Center for Excellence in Homeless Services. Dr. Larkin has researched ACEs among people experiencing homelessness, older adults in public housing, and New Yorkers. She translates ACE knowledge into policies, programs, and practice and engages in collaborative, community-engaged research. She co-developed the Restorative Integral Support (RIS) model to guide an ACE Response strategy that integrates services within intentionally developed restorative contexts that foster resilience and recovery. She has been honored for her work by the New York State Council on Children and Families and the New York State Senate. She has twice earned Exemplary Community Engagement Awards and was named as a Sage Colleges Champion of Character Educator Leadership Award winner.
Amanda Aykanian, MA, is a doctoral candidate in the School of Social Welfare at the University at Albany, State University of New York. Her research focuses on the intersection of homelessness, geographic mobility, and service use. Her article titled, "Service and Policy Considerations When Working with Highly Mobile Homeless Youth: Perspectives from the Frontlines," was recently published in Children and Youth Services Review. Amanda is the Research and Project Lead at the National Center for Excellence in Homeless Services, a consortium of schools of social work engaged in supporting and strengthening homeless services and preparing social workers to work and provide leadership in homeless services settings. In this role, Amanda leads research and evaluation activities and coordinates the center's National Homelessness Social Work Initiative. Additionally, she has more than a decade of community-based program evaluation and data analysis experience. As a Research Associate at Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. (AHP), she is a project director and analyst on multiple federally-funded projects as part of AHP’s Center for Research and Evaluation. She currently leads the evaluation of a permanent supportive housing project in Boston and an offender reentry project in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Calvin L. Streeter, Ph.D., is the Meadows Foundation Centennial Professor in the Quality of Life in the Rural Environment in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
