Summary:
"Twenty years ago, the United Nations praised Canada for its visionary housing policies. Now, in the early twenty-first century, homelessness has reached disaster proportions. How could Canada slip so quickly from being a global leader in housing programs to being the focus of increasingly sharp criticism? Jack Layton addresses the crisis from its roots to the dismantling of our national housing program in the early 1990s. Combining rigorous research, compelling personal anecdotes and timely analysis from social scientists, economists, mayors, clergy and the homeless themselves, Homelessness offers insight and proactive solutions to a national crisis."--adapted from back cover.
