Description
Rossi (sociology, U. of Massachusetts, Amherst) provides a comprehensive picture of homelessness in the US today, offers an explanation of its causes, and proposes short- and long-term solutions to the problem. He notes that the homeless of the 1950s and 1960s offer a striking contrast to the contemporary population, which is much younger on average, contains more women, children, and blacks, and receives less income.
