How to end homelessness in America: a must-read guide to understanding housing instability, supporting our unhoused neighbors, and reclaiming our humanity.A deeply humanizing analysis that will change the way you think about poverty and homelessness-for the socially engaged reader of Isabel Wilkersons Caste and Matthew Desmonds Evicted.Think about the last time that you saw or interacted with an unhoused person. What did you do? What did you say? Did you offer money or a smile, or did you avert your gaze?When We Walk By takes an urgent look at homelessness in America, showing us what we lose-in ourselves and as a society-when we choose to walk past and ignore our neighbors in shelters, insecure housing, or on the streets. And it brilliantly shows what we stand to gain when we embrace our humanity and move toward evidence-based people-first, community-driven solutions, offering social analysis, economic and political histories, and the real stories of unhoused people.Authors Kevin F. Adler and Donald W. Burnes, with Amanda Banh and Andrijana Bilbija, recast chronic homelessness in the U.S. as a byproduct of twin crises: our social services systems are failing, and so is our humanity. Readers will learn:Why our brains have been trained to overlook our unhoused neighborsThe social, economic, and political forces that shape myths like all homeless people are addicts and theyd have a house if they got a jobWhat conservative economics gets wrong about housing insecurityWhat relational poverty is, and how to shift away from us versus them thinkingThat for many Americans, housing insecurity is just one missed paycheck awayWho the homeless really are-and why that might surprise youWhat you can do to help, starting todayA necessary, deeply humanizing read that goes beyond theory and policy analysis to offer engaged solutions with compassion and heart, When We Walk By is a must-read for anyone who cares about homelessness, housing solutions, and their own humanity.
