Mentally ill people turned out of institutions, crack-cocaine use on the rise, more poverty,
public housing a shambles: as attempts to explain homelessness multiply so do the

There is good reason to suspect that changes in the housing market had something to do
with the dramatic rise in the homelessness in the United States after 1980. Whether the
