And Housing for All

A groundbreaking legal advocate argues that only by recognizing housing as a fundamental human right can we hope to solve America's homelessness crisis. In And Housing for All, founder of the National Homelessness Law Center Maria Foscarinis reveals the human impact of the housing crisis by sharing personal stories and examining the flawed policies that have perpetuated it. As millions face rising housing costs and encampments spread nationwide, she uncovers why past efforts have failed and what must change to achieve lasting solutions. Drawing from over 35 years of national advocacy, Foscarinis shares compelling stories of individuals and families impacted by homelessness, highlighting their resilience and growing leadership. Blending personal narratives with policy analysis, she reveals how deliberate decisions have fueled the crisis and how public narratives have sustained it. And Housing for All is essential reading for social justice advocates, policymakers, lawyers, and anyone invested in solving one of America's most pressing challenges.
