A Fresh Perspective on Homelessness

mbugger

This week, we’re excited to introduce San Fransicko, a thought-provoking book by Michael Shellenberger that explores the complex issues surrounding homelessness in America. San Fransicko offers a fresh look at why traditional approaches to homelessness in cities like San Francisco often struggle to make a lasting impact. Shellenberger challenges readers to consider new strategies, questioning policies that provide short-term relief but fail to address the core issues.


At Hand Up Housing, this book resonates with our mission. We believe a lasting solution involves more than immediate shelter; it requires a community-centered approach that addresses underlying causes, offers job training, and fosters meaningful support networks. San Fransicko reminds us why comprehensive solutions are essential for breaking the cycle of homelessness in our communities.


As we work toward creating a lasting impact in the Riverbend Area, we’re inspired by these insights to continue developing our long-term, holistic vision. Join us in this journey as we strive for a future where everyone has access to the stability and support they deserve.
