Combining in-depth interviews, extensive fieldwork and the author's own professional experience, this book considers the perspective of social service providers who work with the homeless and chronicles the steps they take to navigate the housing process. With assertive methods of worker-client advocacy at the center of its focus, the book beckons attention to the many variables that affect professional attempts to house homeless populations. It conveys the challenges that social service providers encounter while fitting their clients into the criteria for housing eligibility, the opposition they receive, and the innovative approaches they ultimately take to optimize housing placements for their clients who are, or were formerly, experiencing homelessness. Weaving as it does between issues of poverty, social inequality, and social policy, Homelessness and Housing Advocacy will appeal to courses in social work, sociology, and public policy and fill a void for early-career professionals in housing and community services"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social service. 650 0 $a Homelessness. 650 0 $a Housing policy. 650 0 $a Social work administration. 650 2 $a Social Work 650 6 $a Service social. 650 6 $a ItineÌrance. 650 6 $a Logement $x Politique gouvernementale. 650 6 $a Service social $x Gestion. 650 7 $a homelessness. $2 aat 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Homelessness $2 fast 650 7 $a Housing policy $2 fast 650 7 $a Social service $2 fast 650 7 $a Social work administration $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smith, Curtis. $t Homelessness and housing advocacy $d New York, NY : Routledge Books, 2022 $z 9781003050872 $w (DLC) 2021049169 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240202024037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCDC11BAC19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
