Ending Homelessness in America Feels Impossible. Is It?
Update: 2024-04-08
Description
There are more people homeless in America today than at any other time in the last 17 years. Those numbers might have gotten a lot worse during the pandemic were it not for millions of dollars in federal funds for emergency housing. That money’s all dried up now. In the early 2000s, many of these cities adopted “10-year plans to end homelessness,” buoyed by a push from the White House. But that hasn’t happened. Ending homelessness in America feels impossible. Is It?
In this podcast episode, we talk to someone who experienced homelessness in Denver and now works to solve it. We also talk to the man leading successful efforts to solve homelessness in Houston, a researcher who's studied why we aren't building more housing, and a tech philanthropist in San Francisco with an innovative approach to the problem.
Podcast Guests:
Cuica Montoya, senior director of homelessness programs at the Colorado Village Collaborative
Marc Eichenbaum, special assistant to the mayor for homelessness initiative in Houston
Katherine Levine Einstein, professor of political science at Boston University
Elizabeth Funk, founder and CEO of DignityMoves
