Requests:  0 Summary:  "Here an academic, a Principal and Manager at Bloomberg Associates, and President of Bowery Residents Committee take on perhaps the most formidable issue facing metropolises today: the large numbers of homeless residents within cities. Ten Global Cities will provide a first-hand account of the challenges of homelessness and how cities have used innovation and local political coordination to take them on. Most importantly, it shares lessons from ten cities globally--Bogota, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Houston, Nashville, New York City, Baltimore, Edmonton, Paris, and Athens--and draws the common themes and strategies that have worked to overcome street homelessness. The authors have been involved in these cities through their work at Bloomberg Associates (as staff and consultants) and bring an interesting array of government, non-profit, and academic perspectives to analyze the efforts underway. From these authors' perspective, homelessness is not an insurmountable social condition, and their examples show that cities can lead the charge for better outcomes. Intended readers include municipal, regional, and national policy makers and managers, non-profit service providers, and community advocates and citizens interested in collaborating for real change. Policy students in public administration and social work would also benefit from such an up-to-date account of best practices on the homelessness front"--Provided by publisher   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.592 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.592 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.592 Gl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.592 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.592 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.592 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
