Cupertino, CA — January 6, 2026 — Claudio Bono, distinguished hospitality executive, Cupertino Commissioner, and President of the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce (2026), has achieved a remarkable milestone: his book, The Homelessness Fix: How to Save the World While Everyone Else Argues About It, has climbed to #1 on Amazon just four months after its release. The book offers a practical, actionable, and scalable roadmap to address one of America’s most urgent crises: homelessness.

California is at a pivotal moment. With Governor Gavin Newsom term-limited and a crowded gubernatorial race underway, housing affordability and homelessness are increasingly central voter concerns. Bono’s work arrives at this critical juncture, presenting a solution that mobilizes billions in untapped private-sector resources, streamlines service delivery, and focuses on tangible results without waiting for political consensus.
“Seeing The Homelessness Fix reach #1 on Amazon is deeply rewarding,” Bono said. “It shows that Americans are ready for solutions that work. At the same time, the lack of engagement from state leadership is frustrating. We have reached out for years through letters, emails, social media, even direct calls but the response has been minimal. The crisis is real, and the solutions are ready.”
Bono draws on over 35 years of experience in hospitality logistics and management, blending personal insight, rigorous research, and operational expertise into a three-year roadmap to end homelessness efficiently and sustainably. The book provides actionable steps to house and support people immediately, bypassing bureaucratic delays while ensuring measurable impact.

- Centralized Support: Establishing welcome centers to coordinate nonprofits, government agencies, and private-sector partners for rapid, seamless assistance.
- Scalable, Purposeful Framework: Step-by-step guidance adaptable to cities nationwide, prioritizing logistics and outcomes over politics.

National Attention and Impact
Since its August 2025 launch, The Homelessness Fix has resonated with readers nationwide, topping Amazon’s charts on poverty, social issues, and public policy. Early reviews describe it as “powerful, actionable, and immediately feasible,” praising Bono’s ability to combine strategy, logistics, and human-centered solutions.
The book has drawn interest from local, state, and national leaders exploring implementation. Bono has also formally submitted the plan to the White House, highlighting its potential for national adoption and scalable impact.
“This isn’t about politics it’s about people,” Bono emphasizes. “Housing and support need to reach people before they fall through the cracks. Every day we delay, lives are affected. This book provides a roadmap to act with both efficiency and compassion.”
