Homelessness in America's cities remains a growing problem. The homeless today face the same challenges as in years past: poverty, tenuous or no ties to family and friends, physical and mental health issues, and substance abuse. Compared to the 1950s to 1970s, more homeless are now sleeping on city streets versus in shelters or single room hotels. Homelessness rates are affected by economic trends, lack of equitable and inclusive healthcare and housing, decline in public assistance programs, and natural and man-made disasters. This collection of essays covers case studies, innovations, practices and policies of municipalities coping with homelessness in the 21st century.

I've always enjoyed writing. It's always been a great therapeutic tool. People always ask me "Anthony why are you so polite, nice, and courteous to everyone around you?" I always reply "because the world isn't" I truly believe everyone should write and feel free to express themselves in a manner befitting their own personality. We all have experiences in life we regret and experiences we cherish. This is my little contribution to the world saying you're not alone. A great friend once told me "it gets worse before it gets better" and she was absolutely right always stay positive and have faith and you'll go far in life. This book is dedicated to the people who have helped me in my life's journey and I want to say thank you.

Exousia throws back the blankets from religious myopia and reveals the horizons of spiritual freedom. The Greek word exousia means the right to become the child of God. Although based upon Judeo-Christian philosophy, Exousia explores cross-religious doctrines such as purpose, inspiration, faith, love, the spirit of God, hope, prayer, judgment, sin, Hell, Heaven, and eternal life. It offers a completely new approach to understanding these old familiar - and oftentimes divisive - subjects. Exousia resolves the controversy surrounding our purpose in this life, and presents God as an interested and devoted originator. Faith, hope, and love are unlocked in a way that will invigorate the soul and awaken the heart of every reader.
