"Jay S. Levy’s book is essential reading to both people new to the movement to end homelessness and folks who have been in the trenches for many years. Learn how to do effective outreach with the chronic homeless population, and the ins and outs of the Housing First model. The personal stories and the success cases will give inspiration to work even harder to help both individuals and for ending homelessness in your community."

He is the author of the highly acclaimed book Pretreatment Guide for Homeless Outreach & Housing First (2013), which is now available as a newly revised edition.

They are entitled Cross-Cultural Dialogues on Homelessness: From Pretreatment Strategies to Psychologically Informed Environments (2018) and Pretreatment Across Multiple Fields of Practice: Trauma-Informed Approach to Homelessness and Beyond (2024).Jay developed Pretreatment as an approach for helping people with¬out homes who are often deemed "not ready" and excluded from housing and/or recovery-oriented services and treatment. While working with Eliot CHS Homeless Services, Jay has helped to create new Housing First programs such as the Regional Engagement and Assessment for Chronically Homeless program (REACH).Jay has achieved formal recognition from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Mental Health for his past efforts to help underserved homeless individuals through his direct service, clinical supervision of staff, and program development. Jay received his MSW degree in clinical social work from Columbia University in 1988.Jay lives in Western MA with his wife, Louise, who recently celebrated retirement after more than thirty years of teaching high school science, and was kind enough to provide valuable assistance in editing this book.
