Publisher's Synopsis
On any given night, more than 500,000 people in the United States-many with families and full-time jobs-experience homelessness. The shortfall in affordable housing is estimated to be 5 million units or more. Devastating effects of these conditions include an increase in multigenerational poverty, a decrease in economic mobility, and-since the housing crisis has a disproportionate impact on communities of color-a heightening of racial injustice.
