Homelessness touches every corner of our country, even the most
prosperous ones. In No Vacancy: Homeless Women in Paradise, Michael
E. Reid tells the story of more than five hundred women living
without shelter in the affluent sea-side communities of Monterrey,
Pebble Beach, and Carmel, California. Even in these glittering
cities, one by one, homeless women were dying, their bodies
appearing in plain sight. When Reid, an Episcopal priest, became
aware of these tragedies, he had to act, and he co-founded the Fund
for Homeless Women. This new venture took him deep into the complex
realities homeless women face. He found that the well-meaning
policies and programs in place in fact often had the unintentional
effect of widening the gap between the indigent and mainstream
society. No Vacancy captures the realities of homelessness in
affluent northern California and exposes pitfalls encountered by
those who wish to combat it. Reid presents an unvarnished look at
the culture of long-term homelessness, and his experience provides
helpful guidance for fighting this crisis. He also explores the
root causes that can result in homelessness, including
marginalization and the gender-based bias--and its disproportionate
effect on women of color. This timely book provides needed guidance
from the frontlines of the fight against homelessness, especially
as activists and homeless people face weakened political and
financial support from the government and their communities.
