Homeless: Against all Odds

by Dr. Alfonso Brown

Overview

There has been an ongoing debate about the factors that cause homelessness. Some argue that homelessness results primarily from a broken housing policy system. Others believe individual behavioral factors and lifestyle choices mainly cause homelessness. This is important because public attitudes toward homelessness influence local policies and services for individuals living this experience. The idea for this memoir came from my almost ten years of homelessness experience and, more importantly, from the millions of individuals who are currently living through this circumstance. In 2009, I lost my job and was homeless a little over a year later. Almost a decade would pass before I would secure affordable living. The same year, I started the EdD (Doctor of Education) program at a private institution in Seattle, WA. and turned my experience into meaningful research.
