Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy turns heartbreaking and urgent, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThere Is No Place for Us\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"pd-product-id\"\u003e0593237145\u003c\/span\u003e   \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9780593237144\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Brian Goldstone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCrown Publishing Group (NY) \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHardcover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMarch 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1.81\" H x 9.45\" L x 6.46\" W (1.35 lbs) 448 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis item is \u003cstrong\u003eReturnable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrian Goldstone \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eis a journalist whose longform reporting and essays have appeared in The New York Times, Harper’s Magazine, The New Republic, The California Sunday Magazine, and Jacobin, among other publications.
