The Breakdown

Housing First

James Sayer Season 3 Episode 5

On this episode of The Breakdown, Jordan and I discuss the Housing First approach, where people experiencing homelessness are not required to be sober, employed, or to complete a treatment program to obtain housing.  We talk about the success rates of the approach, how it works, as well as many other aspects regarding the US homeless crisis, and what needs to be done to house the nearly 600,000 homeless in America today.
