Learn why the language we use to talk about homelessness matters. Larry and David talk with the lead editors of Housing Justice: A Lexicon for Building Housing Solidarity, Drs. Madeleine Hamlin and Carlos Delclós, about some key terms from their recently published book. The conversation sheds light on how these terms shape peoples' beliefs about homelessness and the responses people take to addressing the problems surrounding homelessness.
In this episode, we hear David's speech from Homeward Alliance's recent annual fundraising event. Through a poignant anecdote, David explains how systemic failures in social systems lead a person into homelessness and make it difficult to escape homelessness. The speech offers a sober explanation for why homelessness is so prevalent--and an inspiring call to arms for dealing with both the core causes and the devastating consequences.
Our homelessness crisis is about to get a lot worse, as the number of older people who are unhoused -- those over 50 -- continues to grow. David and Larry talk about why that's happening, and how resources are sorely lacking for the specific needs of this demographic.
A recent Supreme Court decision has made it a crime to be homeless. David and Larry discuss what's behind that decision--and the effort by so many communities to jail people for the simple fact that they have no place to live. They discuss why that doesn't work, how it creates a neverending loop to nowhere, and what's a better way to approach the issue.
Long-time advocate for people experiencing homelessness, Sister Mary Alice Murphy, talks with David and Larry about how she became a nun, as well as her motivations for working with the needy and poor. Learn about how her life's path lead her to Denver, Colorado, and ultimately Fort Collins, where she has helped create a support network for people experiencing homelessness.

Why do people experiencing homelessness often have nice smart phones or cool shoes? David and Larry talk about homelessness and buying stuff. It turns out, the cost of a pair of new kicks isn't enough to buy a house.
David and Larry invite Bryan Aptekar to talk about his experience supporting people experiencing homelessness through his work with the city of Portland. Specifically, they talk about Bryan's experience with the Portland Loo, and why public restroom access is so critical for people experiencing homelessness, as well as everyone who uses the bathroom on a daily basis.
