Kevin's book - THE LOST AND THE FOUND - is just tremendous. I'm so glad that the world is learning what Bay Area readers have known for a long time, about @KevinChron's skill, tenacity, and empathy. One of the most genuine & gifted journalists you'll ever meet. Proud to know him.

In Kevin Fagan’s new book about the homelessness crisis in San Francisco, he highlights “the incongruity of a city that has such phenomenal wealth and still lets thousands of its residents sleep on the streets,” @jaycaspiankang writes. nyer.cm/9OVTgQH

Episode 2257: @KevinChron on a San Francisco story of homelessness that will break your heart, by @ajkeen open.substack.com/pub/keenon…
Award-winning reporter Kevin Fagan is one of San Francisco’s great treasures. In his much acclaimed new book, The Lost and Found, Fagan tells his his two-decade experience reporting about homelessness in San Francisco. He shares the stories of Tyson and Rita, two homeless individuals who he helped reconnect with their families. Tyson, despite having a supportive family, died of a fentanyl overdose, while Rita was rescued by her family and lived 20 more fulfilling years. Fagan, who experienced housing insecurity as a teenager, explains that homelessness stems from systemic poverty issues rather than personal failings. He notes that despite San Francisco's reputation as America’s “homeless central”, 70% of its homeless population lost their homes while already living there.

My book, "The Lost and the Found," came out this week and is now available everywhere books are sold. I poured my heart into this narrative centered around 2 dear people I came to know on the street, and their journeys of despair and redemption: simonandschuster.com/books/T…
