Homelessness is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S.

Patterns, co-authored by Gregg Colburn and Clayton Aldern, uses data analysis to challenge common misconceptions about homelessness.

The book argues that the primary driver of homelessness is the high cost of housing, not factors like addiction or mental illness.

It examines various economic and social factors contributing to the crisis, providing a comprehensive understanding of the issue.

The authors present compelling evidence to support their claims, offering insights into the complexities of homelessness and suggesting potential solutions.

The book's data-driven approach makes it a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in addressing the homelessness crisis.
