** Hope for the Homeless
------------------------------------------------------------

A new book from Independent Institute—based on years of research and expanded from the policy report that inspired the 2022 award-winning documentary ([link removed]) —asks the provocative and urgent question:


How has the homelessness crisis gotten so bad when billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into homelessness initiatives such as “Housing First”?


There’s no excuse for this, especially when there is a better alternative. One rooted in proven solutions, metric-driven success, and animated by human dignity. Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, and Transformative Solutions lays it out.

With forewords from acclaimed addiction medicine specialist and TV host Dr. Drew Pinsky, and licensed master social worker Scott Ackerson, Beyond Homeless gathers experts on every aspect of homelessness to present a stirring condemnation of the status quo—and 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 homelessness—and why they fail
* Why permanent supportive housing (PSH) isn't just ineffective but dangerous
* How political interests fuel the homelessness-industrial complex resulting in ever-increasing spending while falling further behind
* The inspiring success of real alternatives such as Haven for Hope in Texas and Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles
* Policy changes that would truly ease the crisis for the unhoused and housed alike—without breaking the bank
* The difference between responsible and irresponsible forms of harm reduction
* And much, much more…


At the heart of this crisis are real people—those experiencing homelessness and the residents who see their neighborhoods crumble.


Both have paid a high price for failed policies. Both deserve better.


This book shows how.
