In the Midst of Plenty shifts understanding of homelessness away from individual disability to larger contexts of poverty, income inequality, housing affordability, and social exclusion. Homelessness experts Shinn and Khadduri provide guidance on how to end homelessness for people who experience it and how to prevent so many people from reaching the point where they have no alternative to sleeping on the street or in emergency shelters. The authors show that we know how to end homelessnessif we devote the necessary resources to doing so. In the Midst of Plenty: Homelessness and What to Do About It is an excellent resource for policy-makers, profeTable of ContentsForeword xi Acknowledgments xv Introduction 1 1 Who Becomes Homeless? 5 2 What Causes Homelessness? 33 3 Ending Homelessness for People Who Experience It 71 4 Comprehensive Efforts to End Homelessness 91 5 Preventing Homelessness for People at Risk 121 6 Changing Societal Conditions that Generate Homelessness 149 References 179 Index 213

    Book SynopsisThis book analyzes the impact of choice on welfare states in Europe and asks whether the shift towards more choice will ultimately benefit the users and providers of the welfare state, and have a positive impact on society as a whole. Explores the recent focus on choice in many welfare states, which has created a more market-orientated approach, changed users to consumers, and increased emphasis on private providers Examines the impact of these recent reforms on equality, not only from an economic perspective, but also in relation to gender, education, age, and access to services Draws on examples from different European countries and sectors of the welfare state, including the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the Czech Republic Informed by theoretical and empirical approaches, and uses a variety of methodologies Table of ContentsEditorial Introduction (Bent Greve, University of Roskilde, Denmark). 1.
