“A practical, profound tool for readers to delve more deeply into the crisis of homelessness and their own human responses to it. Anyone who takes the time to walk slowly through this 30-day journey will be transformed by it.”
—Jeff Olivet, former executive director of the US Interagency Council on Homelessness
“This valuable workbook invites readers to engage and reflect on the complex phenomenon of homelessness. Relying on the voices of people with lived experience of homelessness and empirical evidence, this resource skillfully provides a thoughtful and compassionate road map for engagement.”
—Gregg Colburn, coauthor of Homelessness Is a Housing Problem
“An essential tool to guide groups in growing their awareness and understanding of people experiencing homelessness. . . . The workbook and book together are for service providers, community groups, religious organizations, classrooms, and individuals. As a college professor, I plan to use the resources of When We Walk By and its workbook with colleagues, in my classes, and in cocurricular groups that can take what we learn and put it into action in our community.”
—Virginia Parish Beard, MPPA, PhD, professor of political science at Hope College and author of Housing: The Evolution of Beliefs, Politics, and Policies
“In the midst of an increasingly grim societal narrative about homelessness, Adler and Burnes courageously nudge us to envision a brighter and more hopeful future. We should all listen to them. Their workbook offers daily reflection questions that prompt us to reconsider our individual commitments to rebuilding a more caring society. Walking by unhoused people on the street only deepens the problem. We can instead pause, connect, open our hearts, and dare to be part of the solution.”
—Howard Koh, MD, MPH, Chair of the Initiative on Health and Homelessness at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and former US assistant secretary for health
