A Shelter is Not a Home … Or Is It? — REVISITED, released January 2010, is an updated second edition of Dr. Ralph da Costa Nunez's much-lauded 2004 book that explores lessons learned and lessons forgotten on issues that drive family and child homelessness in New York City, and in other urban areas across the country. This revised work builds on the first edition in light of today's economic conditions, covering additional developments in city homelessness and housing policies during the Bloomberg administration.

Moving Out, Moving Up is the second book in a collection profiling homeless families and highlighting the achievements of those who have broken the cycle of homelessness. The six individuals depicted here had nowhere to turn and found themselves walking their children through the shelter door. Through participation in programs like GED classes, parenting support groups, and job training, they were able to lead their families to the other side of the door- to self-sufficiency, success, and homes to call their own.

Beyond the Shelter Wall gives readers a rare look at the other side of homelessness, the side that goes beyond need for housing. It includes the story of Rose, a 21-year-old mother of five; Anita, a product of over 20 foster homes and mental institutions; and Denise, a recovering addict. These mothers describe the confusion, challenges, and desperation that brought them to the shelter system. At a time when family homelessness has reached an all-time high, these first-hand accounts provide insight into the growing epidemic of America's poorest.
