Neighbors by Oscar Pollock

Neighbors:
A Primer for The Bridge Fund's Private Approach to
Preventing Homelessness Among the Working Poor

NEIGHBORS traces the dramatic development of a key approach for dealing with homelessness -- preventing homelessness before it happens. For more than twenty years, The Bridge Fund's two programs -- one in Westchester County, New YOrk and one in New York City -- have put this concept into action, resulting in effective, cost-saving assistance for many working poor families who were in immenent danger of losing their housing.

Moreover, The Bridge Fund is a largely private program and its successful history described in the book shows that homelessness prevention is an excellent field for private sector involvement. It is a perfect effort for businessmen and -women who want to make a difference in their communities.

NEIGHBORS recounts how The Bridge Fund was created by a small group of business people who seized a compelling idea and progressively brought it to fruition. Indeed, The Bridge Fund has been replicated in several other states. This book is a valuable resource and inspiration to other community leaders on how to turn a great idea into a successful, problem-solving program.
