{"product_id":"b09rvtvmr9","title":"Homelessness Is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S. Patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing rich and detailed data, this groundbreaking book explains  why  homelessness has become a crisis in America and reveals the structural conditions that underlie it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn  Homelessness Is a Housing Problem , Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern seek to explain the substantial regional variation in rates of homelessness in cities across the United States. In a departure from many analytical approaches, Colburn and Aldern shift their focus from the individual experiencing homelessness to the metropolitan area. Using accessible statistical analysis, they test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain the regional variation observed across the country. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a far more convincing account. With rigor and clarity,  Homelessness Is a Housing Problem  explores U.S. cities' diverse experiences with housing precarity and offers policy solutions for unique regional contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67975084474404,"sku":"YSL60532","price":11.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/81Qc4m1X-vL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793602301","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b09rvtvmr9","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
