Staple-bound paper covers; front cover illustrated with streetscape image of Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia; some abrasions along the spine with a bump at the head, crease to bottom corner of front cover, light soiling. Foreword by Victor L. Summers. Dickman's poetry appears mostly upon rectos with Spandorf's b/w sketches and single color illustration placed on opposing versos. Well-known for her watercolor paintings and pencil drawings of Washington, DC area street scenes, Austrian emigre Lily Gabriella Spandorf (1915-2000) was a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and resided in the District of Columbia from 1960 onward. Spandorf exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution as well as the White House and designed the 1963 Christmas postage stamp for the US Post Office. Her work appears in at least three books (including this one). The content and quality of her paintings are reminiscent of Elizabeth O'Neill Verner's streetscapes of Charleston, South Carolina. A very good copy of a hard-to-find book. Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Entire neighborhoods in cities across the United States have become open-air asylums, drug markets, and impoverished wastelandswhere death, misery, crime, addiction, encampments, fires, disease, and even human waste aren't just tolerated but normalized. How is this possible when billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into homelessness initiatives such as "Housing First"?The truth is that the money poured into this issue from taxpayers, non-profits, and private charities alike has mostly made homelessness worse overall. And governments' failures haven't just wasted taxpayer dollarsit has cost lives and undermined human dignity. This isn't just incompetence. It's immoral and unjust. And it must end. In Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, Mary L. G. Theroux, Lawrence J. McQuillan, Adam B. Summers, and other scholars present a better approach rooted in proven solutions. This groundbreaking new book, based on years of research, is exactly what's needed to address the crisis. With forewords from acclaimed addiction medicine specialist and TV host Dr. Drew Pinsky, and licensed master social worker Scott Ackerson, the book gathers experts on every aspect of homelessness to present a stirring condemnation of the status quoand an inspiring vision for the future. Drawing on real-life stories, cutting-edge research, and alternative programs with metric-driven successes, they make the case for individualized, holistic interventions that actually work. Discover: How "Housing First" initiatives have become governments default response to homelessnessand why they failWhy permanent supportive housing (PSH) isn't just ineffective but dangerousHow political interests fuel the homelessness-industrial complex resulting in ever-increasing spending while falling further behindThe inspiring success of real alternatives such as Haven for Hope in Texas and Union Rescue Mission in Los AngelesPolicy changes that would truly ease the crisis for the unhoused and housed alikewithout breaking the bankThe difference between responsible and irresponsible forms of harm reductionAnd much, much more At the heart of this crisis are real peoplethose experiencing homelessness and the residents who see their neighborhoods crumble. Both have paid a high price for failed policies. Both deserve better. The good news? We can do better. Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions shows us how.
