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.©2025 Kevin Fagan (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio Freedom & Security Homelessness Human Rights Politics & Government Poverty & Homelessness Public Policy Social Social Sciences

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.
