Samenvatting
This is the first comprehensive account of the homeless in the United States. In addition to the "traditional" homeless - bag ladies, alcoholics, and tramps - the author looks at the growing number of new homeless: young people, welfare mothers and families, and the mentally ill. The book includes case perspectives, as well as a description of alternative living arrangements and policies affecting the homeless.
