Why Chosen
This book provides a clear empirical argument and example of what I've said throughout my career - homelessness is a housing problem - and it is not an inevitability. The authors offer city-based comparisons showing relationships between increased housing stock, lower housing/rent prices, and lower rates of homelessness. All communities can reduce homelessness if they make investments in housing. We can do this in Knoxville, also.
