SOMETIMES THE WORLD SEEMS LIKE A VERY DARK PLACE. In this angry world, I have seen a glimpse of light. I have seen kindness, love and hope at a homeless shelter. Siloam Mission is named after a pool where, in Biblical times, Jesus healed a blind man. In this tradition, the Mission has a medical clinic, and I have had the privilege of working there. The homeless men and women I have met at Siloam have taught me profound lessons about perseverance through suffering, expressing joy in dire circumstances, and the rewards of service to those in need. I want to share those lessons with you.

There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.

This book was written with the intention of bringing awareness to the plight and degradation of the homeless population. I worked with the homeless. As I mentioned earlier for over thirty years, during this span of time, I have witnessed mothers, children, and fathers living in subzero temperatures with no place to sleep. I have seen families who have not eaten a meal in days. Homelessness has no color, gender, or religious affiliation. It can happen to anyone at any time. There have been days when I found myself taking a personal interest by reaching into my pockets to provide sustenance for families. I am a firm believer that unless you have been homeless or know of someone who has, you have no idea what it feels like to have no food and a roof over your head. My writing this book has not only been therapeutic for me but has given me the opportunity to share what I have personally experienced and thereby hopefully bringing awareness of this problem. Surprisingly, our fellow men, women, and children are looking for a hand up, not a hand down. Together, we can change lives by helping those who are experiencing a temporary lack of necessities.

On any given night, there are over 643,000 homeless peopleresiding in shelters and on the streets across America. What can we do to help? "Levy crafts stories of characters who sear the memory: OldMan Ray, the World War II veteran who resents the VA system andregards himself as the de facto night watchman at Port Authority;Ben who claims to be a prophet disowned in his own country, crucifiedby the government and enslaved by poverty finds a bridge tothe mainstream services and a path to housing through the commonlanguage of religious metaphors, including redemption andforgiveness; and Andrew who has been 'mentally murdered' ishelped to understand his own situation and gain disability benefitsthrough the language of trauma; among others. These stories are deftly interwoven with theory and practice as Levy constructshis developmental model of the engagement and pretreatment process. The outreachworker strives to understand the language and the culture of each homeless individual, builds a bridge to the mainstream services, and helps those providers to understandthe special circumstances of these vulnerable people. Levy bears witness to thecourage of these pilgrims who wander the streets of our cities, and his poignant bookis a testament to the healing power of trusting and enduring relationships." --Jim O'Connell, MD - President and Street Physician forBoston Health Care for the Homeless Program The reader will...

Abby J. Olson is living a secret life. At age eight, something has happened that she doesn't want the kids at her school to know - she lives in a homeless shelter with her brother and her mom. Abby is mad and confused, so she decides to write down the story of her life. A Quilt and A Home is a gentle story of an eight year olds perspective of parental separation, poverty and homelessness. The metaphor of quilting is woven throughout the book as Abby begins her story watching her mom work on a quilt. When things fall apart in their lives, "putting the pieces together" in order to get her family back to wholeness becomes her desire. Despite Abby's own feelings of uncertainty and anger, she begins to admire her mom for having the courage to navigate the difficult, sometimes tedious, and necessary steps to rebuild their life. This book explores decision making, asking for help, coping with feelings when life seems out of control, and coming to a place of hope for a future that is within reach. Recent estimates are that one in 50 children (about 1.5 million) are part of a family that is homeless in the U.S. each year. They may be staying in shelters, in family cars, on couches of friends or relatives, or on the street. Children who do not have stable homes are especially vulnerable - often experiencing hunger, chronic health problems and lack of access to care. A quarter or more of homeless children witness violence, and more than half experience problems with depression or anxiety (see www.childtrendsdatabank.org for more information.). About the author Pam Wessel-Estes holds BA and MA degrees in psychology, and has worked in social services and public health for more than 30 years. Early in her career she co-founded a domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy center and later led an organization which hosted an emergency shelter for families. The germ of this story grew out of her non-profit work as well as her own childhood experiences. Pam was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest where she still lives with her mountain-climbing husband and two very old cats. She enjoys playing with small pieces of cloth, knitting, weaving, writing poetry, and cooking for the perpetually hungry, smart and delightful young adults in her life. About the illustrator Cathy Clark is a teacher by training, but her love and passion is hiking and enjoying nature in the Pacific Northwest. She is an artist and photographer who generally prefers animals to people, including drawing and painting them. She only illustrated this book full of people as a favor to her friend Pam, and swears the next book she illustrates will be an encyclopedia of salamanders.

Each year Congress passes a budget, allocating funds to federal programs to include housing and homelessness programs. The reality of homelessness is more complex than its definition. People experiencing homelessness are naturally on high alert and alter their behavior that affects their routine, making it hard for them to get out of homelessness. Often, people experiencing homelessness will undergo a number of life-changing emotions, including severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress. The Hotel California is a homeless shelter. It isn't a resort that you need to have a reservation for, and there's one in every major city and rural county in our country. There are more chains of Hotel California than there are any major hotel or motel. This book describes a man's five-year struggle of living in that situation, on the treatment of guest who lived in the shelters, the discrimination against the homeless population to secure jobs, and the improprieties of funds abused by the people who run the shelters and transition homes. You can checkout anytime you like, but will you ever leave. This is my story!
