The print version originally published in 2004 received the following awards: <ul><li>Booklist Editor's Choice 2004 
<li>RUSA 2004 Outstanding Reference Source </ul>At any given moment, about 3 million American women, men, and children are homeless. And another 5 million Americans spend over 50 percent of their incomes on housing, meaning that one missed paycheck, one health crisis, or one unpaid utility bill can push them out the door into homelessness.
 
Homelessness is one of the major social problems and personal and family tragedies of the contemporary world. No community, city, or nation is immune and the lack of affordable housing and a decline in secure, well-paying jobs means that the problem will only get worse.
The Encyclopedia of Homelessness is the first systematic effort to organize and summarize what we know about this complex topic that impacts not only the homeless but all of society. The Encyclopedia focuses on the current situation in the United States with a comparative sampling of homelessness around the world. Key features include: <ul><LI> Over 150 entries, organized alphabetically
<LI> Entries written by an international team of leading authorities in the field
<LI> Reader's Guide groups entries by broad topic areasAppendices include: <ul><li> 
 Homelessness in Popular Culture: Novels and Autobiographies
<LI> Homelessness in Popular Culture: Film
<LI> Directory of Street Newspapers
<LI> Master Bibliography
<LI> Documentary History-selection of primary source material from c. 500 CE to 2003</ul>
This title is available in eBook format through Gale Virtual Reference Library.
