Description

Multiple stories involving Madison’s unhoused population have made headlines in recent weeks — from money questions about the upcoming permanent men’s shelter, to disturbances at the Social Justice Center, to whether or not funding will continue for the first city-sanctioned encampment at Dairy Drive. There’s a lot to take in. To dig into these stories and the complex causes and solutions surrounding them, we spoke with Brenda Konkel, longtime advocate and executive director of Madison Street Medicine.
