Inhaltsangabe

Managing Homelessness: A Ground-Level Approach to Lasting Solutions offers a candid, action-driven roadmap for cities and leaders ready to move beyond talk and toward meaningful, measurable outcomes in addressing homelessness. Drawing from over 25 years of frontline experience in social services, criminal justice, and municipal outreach, Kent Hay outlines a proven model for managing homelessness, not through slogans or wishful thinking, but through structure, accountability, and results.

From his early career in group homes, behavioral health facilities, and the justice system to building successful city-led outreach programs in Redmond and Auburn, Washington, Hay shares the hard lessons learned in the field. He dismantles ineffective nonprofit structures, challenges the false promises of "ending homelessness," and shows how cities can reclaim responsibility by embedding outreach directly into city infrastructure.

This book is not theory. It's a call to lead with real-world strategies for creating clean and sober housing, launching internal outreach teams, leveraging enforcement with compassion, and restoring public spaces while housing hundreds of individuals.

Whether you’re a city official, policy maker, outreach worker, or concerned citizen, this book delivers a practical, unapologetic, and deeply human guide to managing homelessness with urgency and integrity.
