Produktbeschreibung

The book Sides of the Same Coin is the true story of a one-time social service worker, who lost employment and moved into his mother's home to help care for her amidst mental deterioration and aging. After a major disagreement between siblings, this once-proud worker, who had serviced clients within all walks of the social service realm, was unceremoniously evicted by people who had relied upon his help countless times in their journeys through adult life. Such assistance was even given to their children more times than imaginable. It was during these times, that this worker was unceremoniously told he was no longer welcome in his mother's home anymore, and since he assisted clients with their housing needs, he could use his knowledge to find suitable housing for himself. That worker was me. This was the start of a venture I never thought I would ever face. I too was appalled at the little assistance other clients received in the shelter system. This will only become worse due to the pandemic. And for the multitude of those who have fallen behind in rent payments, I believe it will only be a matter of time before the courts evict countless such individuals, and give them no choice but to seek false help from the public shelter systems. Read this book and learn what you never expected to see, face or have to experience in your lifetime. The only suitable name for the New York Shelter System is a living hell.

Autorenporträt

Keith Canty grew up in New York City, with his mother and eleven siblings. Despite his being from a low-income family, his mother Naomi Canty raised everyone to excel in school and pursue college if they wanted to pursue it. After graduating from Long Island University, Keith went into the social service field at various positions that include being a counselor, case manager, and the higher position as an intensive case manager. He worked with clients who were mentally ill, substance abusers, those on parole, and those experiencing other social conditions. Having once had his own apartment, Keith lost his position and those siblings he once assisted, betrayed him and forced him from his mother's home. He then entered the public shelter system, and experienced the multiple dangers, of why no one should ever have to live in a facility that supplies no assistance, and clients use every kind of drugs imaginable. He wrote this book as a warning to why every person should never ever consider living in the realms of a public shelter.
