Post-War Homelessness Policy in the UK
«“This thoroughly researched volume provides a detailed description of policy evolution over this long period whilst tentatively outlining a five-part explanatory framework. Jamie Harding’s career in housing and homelessness policy, incorporating practice and academia, informs a wide-ranging and accessible book. … The book fills a key gap in charting the history of homelessness policy in the UK and, in so doing, offers a valuable point of reference for students and scholars working in this area.” (Kit Colliver, Housing Studies, Vol. 37 (9), 2023)»
