kshertz's review against another edition

informative medium-paced

3.0

I want to support unhoused students and get resources. The covenant house seems like they help but also exploit teens. The religious piece bugs me admittedly. But I think I just wish that these stories were backed up with how to support in real structural ways. I didn’t feel like the book did much for me besides that I felt bad and that covenant house does help them to a point.
