In fact, most homeless people are ordinary fellow-citizens who have fallen on hard times and who want to remain part of, and live in, the community with everyone else. Housing the homeless can no longer be seen simply as a problem of building enough houses. The significant progress of the last twenty years, in providing buildings, has thrown up the enormous social and environmental problems which this narrow understanding of housing policy causes. People need to live in community and, for this to be possible, environmental and social issues must also be faced. This book brings together the diverse views and experiences of people who make policy, who implement it, who analyse it and, most significantly, people who experience its effects. What becomes very clear is that those considerations which enrich and civilise everyday living - environment, facilities for community life and personal development, for work and recreation - must be acknowledged as basic to future housing policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780948183546\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49199765881159,"sku":"8Q-TYRU-GIP1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/41BhPSrkXgL.jpg?v=1709935495","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/focus-on-homelessness-new-look-at-housing-policy","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
