A “riveting, deeply compassionate” (The New York Times) narrative of homelessness, despair, and hope.

Award-winning San Francisco Chronicle journalist Kevin Fagan has been covering homelessness for decades and has spent extensive time on the streets for his reporting. In The Lost and the Found, Fagan introduces us to Rita and Tyson, two unhoused people who were rescued by their families with the help of his own reporting, and chronicles their extraordinary struggles to pull themselves out of homelessness and addiction.

Having experienced homelessness himself, Fagan has always brought a deep understanding to his subjects and has written here more than just a story of individuals experiencing homelessness, but also a compelling look at the link between homelessness and addiction and an incisive commentary on housing and equality. Kevin Fagan writes with “the deft touch that can come only when the ego of the journalist ebbs into something far more substantial and convincing” (The New Yorker). The Lost and the Found ends with both enormous tragedy and triumph to humanize this national calamity, forever changing the way we see the unhoused.

I heard about this book in the radio and immediately wanted to learn more about these people who were homeless right in my backyard (San Francisco, the city of the Golden Gate Bridge) and then they were found by their families after reading about them in the newspaper. A truly remarkable true story by a local journalist.

Remarkable true story captured by a local journalist.

Rhis is a great story with a compassionate and caring author. He has made a real connection with people often reject due to an icky feeling or just plain prejudice

Fagan does a great job of bringing to life through his writing a more full immersion of the total ecosystem that is homelessness. Avoiding a singular dimension of statistics or ethnography or systems or politics he brings all these and so much more together braiding them into a coherent, real telling of the bigger story. He approaches the subject, people, things, ideas, with a respectful reverence for their truth and importance in the bigger picture. This book is high recommended for anyone wanting to get an up close and personal understanding of homelessness.

Great storytelling and reverence

At times I felt overwhelmed, however I imagine that is what most feel. I plan on looking into other books he wrote. This is the first book I read by this author.

Very informative, thought provoking. Kevin Fagan is a very intuitive and caring writer
