"From the author of Homeless Narratives & Pretreatment Pathways Jay S. Levy brings us a new educational resource entitled Homeless Outreach & Housing First: Lessons Learned. This monograph features three written works on homelessness inclusive of an article on moral, fiscal, and quality of life considerations, a new story entitled ""Ronald's Narrative: The Original Housing First"", and an interview that was originally featured in Recovering The Self: A Journal of Hope and Healing. These three documents provide a rich and fertile resource for learning, reflecting, and informing needed action that promotes high quality outreach services and housing stabilization for the most vulnerable among us. The Reader will... * Learn about the positive measurable impact of a Housing First approach and its moral, fiscal, and quality of life implications. * Explore the relationship between Homeless Outreach and Housing First, as well as understand the five basic pretreatment principles that can be applied to both. * Learn how to utilize a Pretreatment Approach with individuals experiencing major mental illness and addiction. * Understand how to better integrate Housing First and Homeless Outreach initiatives with homelessness policy. Praise for Jay S. Levy ""This is one of the best guides I have read about working with the underserved and homeless. I wonder why all cities don't put it into place? How we approach our homeless can defi nitely make a diff erence. Sometimes it's not in the techniques, but in the attitude of the case manager."" --Carol S.
