Homelessness, Housing, and Mental Illness

The book "Homelessness, Housing, and Mental Illness" by Russell K.

Schutt is a groundbreaking study that challenges current housing policies for mentally ill individuals.

Through comprehensive analysis of the Boston McKinney Project, Schutt's work reveals that living alone can actually reduce housing retention and cognitive functioning, supporting clinicians' usual recommendation of group living.

This book provides a much-needed critique of current policy and offers alternative solutions for improving the well-being of those with serious mental illness.

With its unique blend of sociological theory, survey and ethnographic data, and concern for the well-being of individuals, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in social work, public policy, or mental health.
