Topic: A True Story of Homelessness, Found Family, and Second Chances
Kevin Fagan’s debut book, The Lost and The Found: A True Story of Homelessness, Found Family, and Second Chances, is a powerful and deeply reported narrative of homelessness, despair, and hope set in San Francisco, one of the wealthiest cities in America. Fagan himself experienced homelessness as a young man and spent extensive time on the streets for his reporting, giving him a deep understanding of the crisis and allowing him to explore the human side of what’s behind this epidemic. The Lost and the Found is centered around Rita Grant and Tyson Feilzer, two people experiencing homelessness who were rescued with the help of Fagan’s reporting.
In his talks, Fagan gives a compassionate and sweeping overview of the homelessness crisis in America, recounting personal stories from his experience on the streets and perspectives from others without housing -- and his views on how we can change the way we see and help the homeless.
