Liebow: Tell Them Who I Am

Liebow's ideas on solutions

"For most homeless people, the first order of business is to help them stop running.... The first order of business is housing." Tell Them Who I Am, chapter 7, page 229.

" [Since the] causes lie deep within the homeless people themselves, What is needed first and foremost is an array of treatment programs to help them straighten out their heads or their habits." Tell Them Who I Am, chapter 7, page 228.
