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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52105956622624,"sku":"NEW0520383788","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81wCzqQsFnL.jpg?v=1785822537","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/homelessness-is-a-housing-problem-how-structural-factors-explain-us-patterns-0520383788","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
