Summary:

No other social phenomena better epitomizes the end of Britain's modernist project than its seeming inability to respond adequately to the most basic needs - shelter, warmth, food - of many citizens. "Homelessness and Social Policy" offers a dispassionate analysis of the problem of homelessness and the policy responses it has so far invoked. Derived from research at the Centre for Housing Policy during the 1990s, this timely volume reviews theoretical and legal approaches to the problem, considers the impact of the experience of homelessness and evaluates of various policy responses.
