Household Deformation: The Rise and Permanence of Modern Homelessness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218654603)

Dr. Ullman uses his 25 years of front-line experience working in homeless services and low-income housing to expose how the media, advocates, government officials continue to confuse the public about modern homelessness. Using stories, statistics and the sociological imagination, Household Deformation debunks the affordable housing thesis and explains how the rise in single adult households fueled by societal norm changes and anti-family federal low-income housing policy has precipitated the rise in homelessness over the past 50 years. Ullman also shows how the federal definition itself confuses the public about who is housed and who is not and creates the persistently high levels reported annually.
