This comprehensive book delves into the realm of public-nonprofit collaborations in the context of federal homeless policy, shedding light on the crucial role played by communities across the United States in addressing the issue of homelessness. The expectation is for these communities to establish local homeless service networks, known as Continuums of Care (CoCs), as part of their response to the prevalence of homelessness in their respective areas. By leveraging unique, original, and national data, the book employs collaborative governance theories to develop a systematic understanding of network governance and leadership, as well as the provision of healthcare services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Furthermore, it explores the measurement of the impact of collaborative activities, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of these partnerships in addressing the complex challenges of homelessness.

The book offers a connected and comprehensive perspective on public-nonprofit collaboration within the homeless policy field, offering valuable management strategies to guide and evaluate cross-sector arrangements. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, service providers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addressing homelessness and fostering effective collaboration between public and nonprofit organizations.
