Five books to understand homelessness in America

We believe that the more we educate ourselves about the issue of homelessness, the better equipped we are to make a difference. 

That is why we decided to drop this book list in your inbox today and hopefully inspire you to read more about how homelessness has developed in America. 

This curated book list covers topics like poverty, racism, addiction, and the undoing of homelessness stereotypes. 

  • Evicted by Matthew Desmond

  • Dopesick by Beth Macy

  • The New Jim Crow by Michael Alexander

  • Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City by Andrea Elliott

  • Neighbors with No Doors by Josiah Haken, CEO City Relief 

As we round out our summer reading lists, let's take time to delve deeper into the areas we can impact most. 

You may even consider gifting one of these books to a friend or loved one interested in making a difference. When we invest in our understanding, we stand a greater chance of helping someone when they need us the most. #themoreyouknow
