This solution-oriented book shares the inspiring story of a compassionate & humane project. Imagine if every city could do one community like this and we can begin to make headway to solve the homeless problem. Every city can do this! And from this we can grow to do even more. A Solution to Homelessness in Your Town is your essential guide to creating non-institutional, more humane building solutions for activists, architects, community organizers, housing developers, and government officials.
