About the Book

To keep up-to-date on my work feeding and clothing the homeless, please visit www.cateringforthehomeless.com. Homelessness is an issue that is as complex as the people involved. This comprehensive book on homelessness explores the causes that have resulted in this epidemic-the arms and legs, and the heart and soul of it. Our Invisible Neighbors includes 12 personal accounts of people who have been homeless throughout the United States, an account from a man who was homeless as a child in the Dominican Republic, and a chapter with the synopsis of 77 celebrities who were once homeless. These stories of homelessness are from people of all ages, genders, races, and walks of life. These accounts include experiences of living on the subways, streets, in cars, parks, homeless shelters, and hotel shelters. This book is also semi-autobiographical. Our Invisible Neighbors includes a chapter where Wolfe's mother shares her story in Chapter Ten, "Finding Faith," and subsequently the author shares her own story of poverty, domestic violence, and the recurring episodes of brief homelessness which resulted, in Chapter Eleven, "Invisible Scars." The author researched the project with approximately 200 cited sources, but these issues are also deeply personal to her life. Part Two of Our Invisible Neighbors provides a chapter on 16 causes of homelessness, 21 myths of homelessness, and an in-depth look at the two leading causes of homelessness-poverty and domestic abuse. There is a chapter on the top 13 leading causes of poverty in America, with a subsequent chapter entailing some of the causes, and solutions for global poverty. Solutions are also offered for domestic violence. Part Three explores the solutions of homelessness--how Finland, Canada, and certain cities and states in America have ended or greatly reduced the crisis of homelessness in their countries. Chapter Twenty-Five discusses Crystal Wolfe's work with the homeless, and her non-profit Catering for the Homeless. Chapter Twenty-Six lists 20 things that we as individuals can do to help the homeless. Finally, Chapter Twenty-Seven offers 21 viable solutions to end homelessness based on years of research, and years of working with the homeless and in politics across the nation from LA to NYC. Wolfe cares deeply about helping the homeless. Any support for this endeavor is appreciated. This is a book with the hope to make homelessness, and the homeless individuals themselves, visible. Every problem has a solution. This "cause of the heart" can be overcome through understanding, determination, and love for the people who have become Our Invisible Neighbors.
