Short description:
Ungoverned and Out of Sight explores conflicting policy solutions in the highly decentralized U.S. homeless policy space. Alongside detailed case studies, it provides recommendations for policy makers to improve existing systems and deliver policies that will successfully diminish chronic homelessness.
MoreLong description:
If health policy truly seeks to improve population health and reduce health disparities, addressing homelessness must be a priority
Homelessness is a public health problem. Nearly a decade after the great recession of 2008, homelessness rates are once again rising across the United States, with the number of persons experiencing homelessness surpassing the number of individuals suffering from opioid use disorders annually. Homelessness presents serious adverse consequences for physical and mental health, and ultimately worsens health disparities for already at-risk low-income and minority populations. While some state-level policies have been implemented to address homelessness, these services are often not designed to target chronic homelessness and subsequently fail in policy implementation by engendering barriers to local homeless policy solutions.
In the face of this crisis, Ungoverned and Out of Sight seeks to understand the political processes influencing adoption of best-practice solutions to reduce chronic homelessness in US municipalities. Drawing on unique research from three exemplar municipal case studies in San Francisco, CA, Atlanta, GA, and Shreveport, LA, this volume explores conflicting policy solutions in the highly decentralized homeless policy space and provides recommendations to improve homeless governance systems and deliver policies that will successfully diminish chronic homelessness. Until issues of authority and fragmentation across competing or misaligned policy spaces are addressed through improved coordination and oversight, local and national policies intended to reduce homelessness may not succeed.
Ungoverned and Out of Sight provides a fresh perspective on the complex governing arrangements for American housing policy and the implications for public health. A must read for public policy and public health scholars.
