DC159 Interview: John Loss on his book Not Always Homeless

John Loss joins David Mettler and Tim Keirnan to talk about his
book Not Always Homeless, created from ethnographic interviews
with local people who were homeless in his area. Its subtitle is
"The personal stories of 13 people who survived and escaped a
life on the streets". After we discussed how he published his
first book at age 80 based on  interviews with homeless
people in the Niagara Falls area of New York State, we talked
about about the 501c3 charity he and some fellow concerned
citizens created to help local people without homes build a more
stable life for themselves, called Help and Hope for the
Homeless. Why and how do people in America become homeless, and
what kind of assistance is proven to work successfully long term?
John presents compassionate, insightful research and personal
anecdotes from helping people in his community.


Not Always Homeless... can be purchased on Amazon.
