Summary "American researchers, those involved in programs, and an individual who has experienced homelessness discuss the current status of the problem and how new demographic complexities can be addressed; current efforts to provide housing and services and their accomplishments and limitations; cultural and political barriers such as housing, employment, the law, and social aspects; and what can be done to address the problem, including the evaluation of programs, the role of public opinion and the media, community planning, and collaborative funding."--From publisher description.
