This textbook examines the service needs of those experiencing, or at risk of homelessness and reviews effective policies, programs, and practices for people at risk or experiencing homelessness. It addresses a a need for a comprehensive, dedicated textbook on homelessness for the social work field. Because of the multifaceted causes and correlates of homelessness, this textbook is informed by the Restorative Integral Support (RIS) model for a whole person framework that organizes policy, program, and practice innovations presented throughout the chapters. The RIS model: (1) conceptually handles homelessness as a category that includes and transcends existing categories of child welfare, aging, health, disabilities, mental health, substance abuse, and others; (2) synthesizes research on ACEs, trauma, resilience, and recovery; and (3) offers a holistic, multi-system method that supports consumers and staff while strengthening systems within communities. Building the homelessness knowledge base - from characteristics of the homeless population to policy and service implementation - can advance life-changing outcomes for millions who lack supports.
