Book Description
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.

ÔExtreme Poverty and Human Dignity: A Human Rights Approach to DevelopmentÕ
Author: Dr. Dharmendra Kumar Singh
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 138704270X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
The theme pertaining to the concept of Human Rights embodies the doctrine of humanism, which in turn involves the kindness and benevolence towards and protection of human beings particularly deprived people who need special care to make them able to pull their soul and body together. Most human rights are concerned with the human person's right to certain fundamental freedoms, including the freedoms from hunger, disease and illiteracy. The current human rights discourse witness to a strong concern for the question of socio-economic rights. The ideas of indivisibility, inter-dependence and inter-relatedness are being increasingly emphasized. Rights are inherently empowering. They provide a strong mobilization point for programms and action.

Homeless
Author: Gerald Daly
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135098751
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The causes of homelessness are disputed by both Right and Left. But, few would argue that life on the streets is anything other than dangerous and debilitating. Unemployment, deinstitutionalisation, abuse in the home are among the stories the homeless tell. Voluntary organisations point to the failure of emergency shelters and food banks, the cut-backs in social programmes and the severe shortage of affordable housing. On the international scale, the changing global system has placed new demands on the economies of Europe and north America which have impacted on resources, employment and even political will. This book is the first comprehensive international study of homelessness. The author argues that the category of the homeless must itself be broadened, to encompass those chronically without shelter to those in immediate risk of dispossession, if homelessness is to be tackled effectively (before and after it happens) by public policy, voluntary organisations and the individuals themselves.
