By Claudio Bono
While cities argue, campaigns posture, and policies fail, one truth remains undeniable: homelessness is not just a crisis — it is a growing indictment of systems that no longer work. In The Homelessness Fix: How to Save the World While Everyone Else Argues About It, Claudio Bono cuts through decades of politics, bureaucracy, and broken promises with a plan both visionary and startlingly practical: end homelessness in three years.
Part memoir, part research, and part rallying cry, Bono shares the story that inspired a movement. It began not with a grant, a nonprofit, or a government directive— but with a single act of compassion: paying for a homeless man’s 10-night hotel stay.
By the eighth night, he had reconnected with family, left the streets, and restarted his life. That ripple effect — stabilizing a person, supporting a hotel, boosting local tax revenue — revealed a truth policymakers had missed:
targeted, dignity-first interventions work.
From that spark came GiveaRoof.org, a data-driven model that replaces failed “triage” systems with personalized care, practical logistics, and economic efficiency. Where governments see a burden, Bono sees an opportunity: trillions of unused loyalty points, empty hotel rooms, volunteer-driven support systems, and a nation hungry for real results.
Drawing from eleven years of volunteering, city government experience, and firsthand observation of policy failures, Bono exposes the fragmentation, waste, and political inertia that keep people trapped in cycles of despair.
He makes it clear: criminalizing homelessness doesn’t work. Ignoring it doesn’t work. Throwing money at generic programs doesn’t work.
But precision, dignity, and smart resource allocation can.
At the heart of the book lies the GiveaRoof.org model — a plan built on clarity and humanity:
- A federal database and ID system to understand each person’s real needs
- Nonprofit-run welcome lounges offering meals, hygiene, clothing, and job support
- Life coaches, therapists, doctors, and specialists creating tailored action plans
- Professional reintegration using unused hotel rooms and airline points
- A national movement powered by just 5% of Americans donating loyalty points — a potential $25 billion yearly engine for change
Bono argues, convincingly, that the leader who embraces this strategy could not only transform cities but reshape national politics — winning hearts with solutions, not slogans. His viral posts, read by millions, have already begun that momentum.
Written with urgency, clarity, and deep humanity, The Homelessness Fix is a call to stop accepting dysfunction as destiny. It’s a challenge to citizens, activists, and elected officials: the solution exists. The moment is now. Will we act?
Bono is ready to bring GiveaRoof.org to mayors, governors, members of Congress — even the President. The only question is whether leadership will rise to meet history.
