From the author of Homeless Narratives & Pretreatment Pathways
Jay S. Levy brings us a new educational
resource entitled Homeless Outreach & Housing First: Lessons
Learned. This monograph features three written works on
homelessness inclusive of an article on moral, fiscal, and
quality of life considerations, a new story entitled "Ronald's
Narrative: The Original Housing First", and an interview that
was originally featured in Recovering The Self: A Journal of
Hope and Healing. These three documents provide a rich and
fertile resource for learning, reflecting, and informing needed
action that promotes high quality outreach services and
housing stabilization for the most vulnerable among us.
The Reader will...
Learn about the positive measurable impact of a Housing
First approach and its moral, fiscal, and quality of life
implications.
Explore the relationship between Homeless Outreach and
Housing First, as well as understand the five basic pretreatment
principles that can be applied to both.
Learn how to utilize a Pretreatment Approach with individuals
experiencing major mental illness and addiction.
Understand how to better integrate Housing First and
Homeless Outreach initiatives with homelessness policy.
Praise for Jay S. Levy
"This is one of the best guides I have read about working
with the underserved and homeless. I wonder why all cities
don't put it into place? How we approach our homeless
can definitely make a difference. Sometimes it's not in the
techniques, but in the attitude of the case manager."
--Carol S. Hoyer, PhD, for Reader Views
