Praise for Jay S. Levy

"This is one of the best guides I have read about working with the underserved and homeless. I wonder why all cities don't put it into place? How we approach our homeless can definitely make a difference. Sometimes it's not in the techniques, but in the attitude of the case manager." --Carol S. Hoyer, PhD, for Reader Views
