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 defi nitely make a diff erence.
Sometimes it's not in the techniques, but in the attitude of the case
manager." --Carol S. Hoyer, PhD, for Reader Views
