About the Author

Homelessness: An examination of the Journey to Recovery. Chaplain Babcock, having served for more than a decade in the heart of the Skid Row of Los Angeles, looks at some of the causes of homelessness and possible interventions. Just as in the Great depression, we are seeing unprecedented natural disasters, unemployment, foreclosures , and a rise in substance abuse addictions, making homelessness a national epidemic. How does the average person, pastor, church, and government official make a difference in their community? This book gives practical advice for those asking this question.
