I'm currently reading Grace Can Lead Us Home by Kevin Nye. It's is about a housing-first approach to helping the unhoused(as opposed to the current mainstream systems). It's written by a Christian based on his experiences with working for the unhoused but I still think it's good literature regardless of your faith. It's been running fairly parallel with my experiences with helping the unhoused as well. I've since added it to my lefty lit I will recommend.
Up next I am gonna read either Killing Hope, Inventing Reality, or just read both. Then I want to get back to theory, which I am always taking suggestions on.
If it helps with organizing, read it! Don't just read ML authors.
My wife was the one that suggested it to me. She's a leftist Christian and I am very much an atheist but have been thinking about where "leftist Christianity" fits with with Marxism(I know, opiate of the masses and all). But even regardless of the religious aspects, I think housing first and safe use sites should be the way we do things regarding this sort of outreach, and this book is definitely from that angle a well.
awesome!
