About This Book

In 1900, Alice Willard Solenberger was given charge of the Central District of the Chicago Bureau of Charities, a territory in the South Side of the city where a large number of applicants were homeless men. Recognizing the inadequate treatment of these men, Solenberger devised a new plan of treatment, adapted largely from the methods used in the treatment and investigation of families, calling for greater care, greater skill, and greater sympathy in dealing with applicants. This book presents the methods behind the new plan of treatment.
