An excellent book combining some good history of the homeless problems and earlier solutions, and some contemporary data on experiments, many on the west coast in Oregon. It might even be seen as a manual with good ideas for bringing a community around to experiment with homeless camping, morphing into more permanent communities. It is quite hopeful in its examples. Well written and concise.

This book represents the cutting edge of experience and expertise in the field of Tiny House Villages as a response to homelessness and housing-insecurity. I highly recommend it to anyone concerned with finding affordable ways to address these problems. And if you get a chance, go watch a presentation by Andy Heben if you are lucky enough to have him speaking anywhere near you. It will be time well-spent!

A great book on the how to do it for developing homeless housing. We are trying to build a village in Minnesota and this is an important guide. To get into this mission I also recommend "Breakfast at Sallys".

Wealth of appplicable knowledge
Andrew's book is a wealth of knowledge. The information in this book has helped me start building a community for Huntsville's homeless. It is my #1 resource and I carry it to every meeting. So glad that those who have gone before us were willing to put all their knowledge in one place so we can all learn from each other. Definitely recommend this book!

Utterly practical, insightful reframing.
This was a great book recommended to me by Tom Atlee. The book has utterly practical information, born from experience and story. Steps to take. Agreements to share. It also has insightful reframing of issues and challenges in economic paradigms. From "homeless" to "unhoused." Thank you Andrew. A good read for anyone working with homelessness / unhoused issues.

An excellent reference book on building a supportive environment for people who don't have access to traditional housing. I have purchased 2 copies so far--one for me and a loner, since the loner has a "waiting list" I may purchase a third!
