Do We Fall Down On Homelessness?

Girls Fall Down by Maggie Helwig is this year's "one book" for Keep Toronto Reading month in April. Homelessness in Toronto is one of the themes running through this book.

When I was asked to contribute a short essay on the Out of the Cold Program, I realized just how many clippings, reports and books, plans and recommendations on homelessness in this city we had in the library  --- And then I realized how many more we had on homelessness in general.

From  the 1983 study: No place to go : a study of homelessness in Metropolitan Toronto to the recent Can I see your ID? : the policing of youth homelessness in Toronto, our shelves overflow.

Are these covers worth more than a thousand words?
