Closing the Gaps: Social Work Frameworks for Sustainable Houselessness Interventions

By Gay Lee

Are we merely managing houselessness, or are we truly resolving it?

Across North America, the housing crisis continues to escalate, despite the tireless efforts of skilled and committed social workers. In Closing the Gaps, Dr. Gay Lee, a clinical social worker with over thirty years of experience in forensic mental health and policy, argues that our ongoing shortcomings stem from the absence of specialized, well-conceptualized intervention strategies.

This book goes beyond theory; it serves as a practical, step-by-step guide designed to revolutionize the way practitioners, administrators, and leaders tackle the complexities of displacement. Dr. Lee introduces The Implementation Pyramid, an innovative model that weaves together theory, clinical practice, and advocacy, guiding readers beyond bureaucratic paperwork toward purposeful, results-driven strategies.
