Street stories : 100 years of homelessness in Vancouver

Summary: "A sympathetic lens is turned on the faces of Vancouver's homeless and reveals them for the everymen and women they are: people with families, past careers, and lives only half-lived because of varying circumstances, most beyond their control. The accompanying text examines how homelessness has changed over the past century, why the social and political response to homelessness is still largely based on historical notions of deserving and undeserving poor, and what programs and initiatives have been tried and have seemingly failed." --publisher's website.
