The Man in the Dog Park offers the reader a rare window into homeless life. Spurred by a personal relationship with a homeless man who became her co-author, Cathy A. Small takes a compelling look at what it means and what it takes to be homeless. Interviews and encounters with dozens of homeless people lead us into a world that most have never seen. We travel as an intimate observer into the places that many homeless frequent, including a community shelter, a day labor agency, a panhandling corner, a pawn shop, and a HUD housing office. Through these personal stories, we witness the obstacles that homeless people face, and the ingenuity it takes to negotiate life without a home. The Man in the Dog Park points to the ways that our own cultural assumptions and blind spots are complicit in US homelessness and contribute to the degree of suffering that homeless people face. At the same time, Small, Kordosky and Moore show us how our own sense of connection and compassion can bring us into touch with the actions that will lessen homelessness and bring greater humanity to the experience of those who remain homeless. The raw emotion of The Man in the Dog Park will forever change your appreciation for, and understanding of, a life so many deal with outside of the limelight of contemporary society.

"Questioning what shelter is and how we can define it, this volume brings together essays on different forms of refugee shelter, with a view to widening public understanding about the lives of forced migrants and developing theoretical understanding of this oft-neglected facet of the refugee experience. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, law, architecture, and history, each of the chapters describes a particular shelter and uses this to open up theoretical reflections on the relationship between architecture, place, politics, design and displacement"--

Thuisloosheid is een complex sociaal probleem dat zich vanuit verschillende invalshoeken laat analyseren. Het heeft in de eerste plaats te maken met huisvestingsproblemen, maar kan daartoe niet herleid worden. Vaak is er ook een gebrek aan inkomen, een negatieve gezondheidssituatie, geestelijke gezondheidsproblemen en maatschappelijke ontankering. Daar komt bij dat de hulpverlening voor deze groep in die mate is versnipperd, dat ze de thuisloosheid soms zelfs mee veroorzaakt of bestendigt.Dit boek geeft een makkelijk hanteerbaar model voor de opvang van thuislozen. Het wordt onderbouwd door een visie die steunt op een aantal recente benaderingen, zoals presentie, maatschappelijke steunsystemen, expressed emotion, kwartiermaken, bemoeizorg, empowerment. Het beschrijft de praktische keuzes via een checklist
