Housing First : ending homelessness, transforming systems, and changing lives
Padgett, DeborahAuthor
Henwood, Benjamin FContributor
Tsemberis, Sam JContributor
Little more than two decades ago, the 'Housing First' (HF) approach pioneered by Pathways to Housing, Inc. was a small but determined challenge to the burgeoning yet ineffective service system for homeless persons. Today, the success of HF has brought about paradigm-shifting systems change not only in the homeless 'industry' but in related service systems. This book employs conceptual frameworks drawn from theories of institutional change and innovation to explore the rise in homelessness in the US, the 'lineages' of responses to the problem, and the subsequent rise of HF.
