Podcasts about homeless children

Welcome to this bonus episode about Homeless Children's Network (HCN). Malik Parker is the director of the Jabali Substance Use Disorder (SUD) program at HCN. He is originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, but his mom is from Oakland. He left NC for The Bay the day after he graduated high school in 2011. Cameron Smith is HCN's director of Afrocentric programs. He is from Columbus, Ohio, but has been in SF for more than 10 years now. Cameron came here on a whim; he had a friend who needed a roommate. His first job in The Bay was in San Jose at the YMCA as a basketball ref. He knew then that he wanted to serve, to give back. Cameron shares the origin story of Homeless Children's Network. HCN was founded in 1992 with the intent to serve as a connection between six different shelters in The City. Their CEO today, Dr. April Silas, has been with HCN since the beginning. The idea was that folks experiencing homelessness were transitory, and it would be best if services they received in one shelter followed them. Nowadays, they serve more than 2,500 clients per year. They have around 60 partnerships with other service organizations in The City. Please visit the HCN website for more info. They are currently in the middle of their Jabali awareness campaign, a partnership with the San Francisco Department of Public Health that provides services around the fentanyl crisis. Cameron points to the Black population in The City being about 4–5 percent of the total, while Black folks experiencing fentanyl overdose deaths range from 30 to 40 percent of the overall number in SF. The Jabali campaign aims to bring awareness to treatment as well as warning folks of the dangers of the deadly drug. HCN runs ads on social media and YouTube as well as billboards around town. They aim through these ad campaigns to be as ubiquitous as, say, a Sweet James or Ann Phuong. The goal is to make folks aware of HCN and its services before they might realize they need it. A big part of Malik's job also involves meeting people where they are, bringing those same messages as HCN's ads. He says that this aspect of his role with HCN is perhaps the most rewarding for him. Malik has learned a lot in his time with HCN, including in their work with SFDPH. He's uncovered his own biases, which is part of what he works so hard to help others see. He emphasizes for folks the “us” aspect of it all. He says he relishes the give-and-take of seminars, the things he hears people say to one another. When I mention the United Playaz motto, “It takes the hood to save the hood,” we go on a bit of a sidebar about communities looking internally to solve their own issues. HCN has workforce development programs, and I ask whether anyone who's been through their programs has come back to work with them. That has indeed happened. Then our conversation shifts to ways that The City has adopted a “tough on crime” approach in the last couple of years to several areas that HCN deals with (see the recall of Chesa Boudin and shift rightward of our Board of Supervisors, among other signs). No one in the room the day we recorded agrees with that approach. We end this bonus episode with ways that you can get involved with HCN, whether it's donating, volunteering, attending a seminar, or something else. Please visit HCN's website to learn more. Follow them on social media @hcnkidssf. We recorded this episode at Homeless Children's Network offices in The Fillmore in March 2025. Photography by Jeff Hunt

“So, if people need potable water, then we need to provide them with that. Or if people are looking for a job that we don't need to categorize that.

New data show 1 in 8 children in New York City public schools are homeless, a record number. Christine Quinn, president & CEO of Win, the largest provider of shelter and supportive services for homeless families in New York City, talks about the challenges homeless families face, and offers ideas on how to help solve a longstanding problem.

Kate Barrand, President & CEO of Horizons for Homeless Children, is here to share her experience of how offering STEM-based learning activities has positively impacted the lives of children experiencing homelessness. Many children, especially those living in poverty or who are members of linguistic and ethnic minority groups, lack exposure to STEM opportunities. It's critical we better recognize how we can close this opportunity gap and its consequences.   If you would like a closed captioning version of this podcast, please contact Stephanie.heald@uagc.edu.

Did you know that families with young children are one of the most likely groups to experience homelessness? Being a new parent is hard enough – it's nearly impossible when you don't have stable housing. This week Gloria's talking to Kate Barrand, who runs Horizons for Homeless Children, an organization in Boston providing quality childcare and early education to unhoused families. They're doing incredible work, and Kate has some powerful insights into what it takes  to help families find stability. Then Gloria talks to Caitlin Liversidge, a new mother in San Francisco who found herself unhoused and pregnant last summer, about what it took for her to make it through pregnancy and find stability.

Etsy vs. Goimagine: A David vs. Goliath Showdown   Ranked Categories:   Mission/Business:    • Goimagine: Donates profits to charities helping children, such as Horizons for Homeless Children and Relief Nursery, and exclusively supports handmade items. Rating: 5  • Etsy: Profits are directed to shareholders, impacting seller and buyer experiences. No longer exclusively handmade. Rating: 1   Seller User Experience:    • Goimagine:  • Lacks integrated shipping labels.  • No promotional coupons for conversions.  • Requires Stripe for payments, adding extra steps.  • Limited analytics and no individual listing stats.  • No dedicated seller app, but has a community app.  • Similar listing and shop setup to Etsy, making it easy to transition.  • Keeps buyers within the seller's shop. Rating: 3  • Etsy:  • Comprehensive marketing suite and tools.  • Integrated payment processor and robust analytics.  • Alerts for conversions and detailed customer insights.  • Extensive experience and resources. Rating: 4.5   Support:    • Goimagine:  • Known for stellar seller support with CEO involvement.  • Easy to get help and quick resolutions.  • No support phone number, only a help center and forum. Rating: 4  • Etsy:  • Declining support quality since going public.  • Difficult to resolve issues quickly.  • Shops can be suspended with limited recourse.  • Has support chat and a help center. Rating: 3   Buyer Experience:    • Both offer gift recipient options and customer apps.  • Similar, user-friendly checkout processes.  • Etsy:  • Cleaner, more professional checkout.  • Multiple payment options like PayPal and Google Pay. Rating: 5  • Goimagine: Lacks additional payment options. Rating: 4   Traffic/Buyers:    • Goimagine:  • 600,000 visits in three months.  • 6,000 sellers.  • Estimated 46,500 buyers. Rating: 1  • Etsy:  • 1.3 billion visits in the same period.  • 93 million buyers per year.  • 8.3 million sellers. Rating: 5   Summary: Goimagine is a promising platform with a strong mission, but it currently lacks some of the tools and traffic that Etsy offers. While Etsy has more resources and a larger user base, Goimagine's focus on charitable donations and handmade items provides a unique appeal. Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, making the choice dependent on individual seller needs and values.

On today's In the News podcast we look at a new report that reveals the shocking health problems affecting children who spend years spent living in emergency accommodation. In May there were 4,316 homeless children in the State, living in a range of emergency accommodation types, from B&Bs to family hubs, often in overcrowded conditions – an entire family sharing one small room, for example – or without adequate cooking facilities.At the Lynn Clinic in Temple Street children's hospital in Dublin, Dr Aoibheann Walsh is seeing malnutrition effects more common in developing countries, such as rickets, anaemia, faltering growth and extreme tooth-decay, and skin “infestations” like scabies.Kitty Holland, Irish Times social affairs correspondent, has visited the clinic and talked to some parents about the reality of child homelessness and the devastating impact on a growing group of children.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

In 2024 Britain nearly 140,000 kids are homeless. Just because you don't see them on the street doesn't mean they're not there. This is Britain's temporary accommodation crisis, one which is worsening. Temporary accommodation was once a safe harbour for a few days, a week, a month or so at most. Now, thanks to rocketing rents and inadequate housing supply, more and more families find a single room in a hotel or accommodation block their permanent home. In this latest News Agents Investigates series, Lewis hits to road to find out just how big a problem it is, where it comes from and why so many working class kids may find themselves ruined by forces outside their control.Producer: Laura FitzPatrickVideo Production: Rory SymonYou can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The News Agents"!The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

In the Spring of 2014, 8-year-old Relisha Rudd was a vibrant young lady full of so much personality.  She was a 2nd grader living in Washington D.C.  Despite her bright personality, Relisha had a rough home life.  After many unexcused absences from school, the school began asking questions only to learn that Relisha was sick and being taken care of by a Dr. Tatum.  Eventually the truth would come out that Relisha was missing.

Police commander. Since Larson ran the Homeless Children's Playtime Project, she assumed the call was related to her job. Around the time of the phone call, a 14-year-old girl has run away from the homeless shelter. This led to questions surrounding the degree of care the shelter has for its runaways. Larson was wrong, though.The commander asked if she knew that an 8-year-old was missing from her shelter.The Homeless Children's Playtime Project is an organization that works to create play areas for homeless children. Relisha Rudd — the aforementioned 8-year-old — was one of those children. Upon being told that she was missing, Larson was asked to send the police all of the information she had on Relisha. Emails confirm that Larson had provided the police with everything they'd asked for.“She holds such a special place in our hearts,” Larson said. “I think we owe it to her to not give up and to keep her picture and her story out there.”Support the show
