America's housing affordability crisis has led to a sharp increase in homelessness. And, according to the latest count by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, children under the age of 18 have seen the largest jump. There are nearly 1.4 million homeless students nationwide, according to the National Center for Homeless Education. USA TODAY Breaking News Reporter Christopher Cann joins The Excerpt to discuss this rapidly growing population of students and the long-term implications for society. Have feedback on the show?

There is a disconnect between the high level of homelessness in Seattle and the high number of affordable housing units that are sitting unused at the moment. As of the end of last year, nearly 11% of affordable housing in the city were empty – more than 2700 apartments. . That’s more than five times the number of vacancies compared to 7 years ago. So what happened? Well, for many, affordable housing is, ironically, no longer the affordable option. A flattening of rents overall has made these units less desirable than many other market rate options. But even though these units are sitting empty, it’s unlikely they will be opened for Seattle’s growing homeless population.

In the last two weeks of the Oregon legislative session, which ended late Friday night, housing advocates including the Community Alliance of Tenants, the Oregon Housing Alliance and the Urban League of Portland sounded the alarm and protested in Salem over funding cuts. They said the programs for emergency rent assistance and programs to prevent eviction must remain funded to prevent thousands of individuals and families with children from being evicted and becoming homeless. Lisa Bates is a professor of Black Studies at Portland State University and helps run a research program studying evictions across Oregon. We talk with Bates about the lack of legislative funding for homelessness and housing programs and what’s needed in her view to address the ongoing homeless and housing crisis.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- According to Toms River Mayor Dan Rodrick, singer Bon Jovi's nonprofit kitchen is attracting an enormous number of homeless people! The homeless from across the state, and out of state, are now flocking to Toms River to enjoy free meals—but the town doesn't have the infrastructure or resources to care for such an enormous number of people. 4:20pm- A recent Axios report notes that Democrats have their lowest favorability rating in the history of CNN polling, they have a bad 2026 Senate electoral map, and following the census in 2030—because residents of blue states are moving to red states in large numbers—Democrats will face an uphill battle in the electoral college in 2032. For example, California and New York are expected to lose a total of six House seats and, subsequently, six electoral votes. Rich notes he's not sure how the Democrat Party can turn things around—as they continue to embrace unpopular policies despite the results of the 2024 election. 4:30pm- JT Morris—Supervising Senior Attorney for The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss FIRE submitting an amicus brief on behalf of a Maine House Representative facing retaliation for protected speech about transgender athletes. 4:40pm- During a CNN town hall event with Senator Bernie Sanders, host Anderson Cooper was corrected after “misgendering” a civil rights attorney sitting in the audience.

California's homeless population grew by 3 percent between early 2023 and early 2024. While other states saw higher rates, California still has the most homeless people in the country. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.
As temperatures plummet, some people who are unsheltered and homeless have had to find a way inside to stay safe. It's a difficult time of year for the roughly 10,000 people in the state who have unstable or no shelter. Often people without stable housing live unnoticed and without the safety and care they need. That's why the Wilder Foundation in St. Paul conducts a survey of all the unhoused people they can find every three years. The research organization just published new data from their Minnesota Homeless Study with geographic, demographic and social information about our neighbors without housing. Rebecca Sales is a research scientist who worked on the project and she joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about their findings.

Is there any way that Kansas City government can help those that are being affected by homelessness in our city?
Homelessness is an issue that could hurt the Democratic Party in next month's US presidential election. The problem is especially serious in Democratic candidate Kamala Harris's home state of California, which has one third of the country's homeless: 181,000 people in that state alone. Republicans have often criticised their rivals for being too lax on the issue. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to speed up the dismantling of encampments and is threatening to cut off public funds to towns that refuse to do so. But in some cities, like Los Angeles, authorities are doing their best to find more permanent housing for the homeless. FRANCE 24's Pierrick Leurent and Valérie Defert report, with Wassim Cornet.
Older adults age 55 and up accounted for 44% of the homeless population in the Greater Richmond region, according to a recent annual count. Homelessness in the region increased 20% from 2023, while older adult homelessness rose two percentage points, based on recent data collected by the Homeward VA point-in-time count. Older adults have vulnerabilities that don't exist for other renters or homeowners, according to Benjamin Teresa, the director of RVA Eviction Lab. Limited income, medical costs, rising housing costs, evictions and more can all factor into the displacement of older adults. Like others in the region, older adults face...Article LinkSupport the show
Mike Jones has been homeless for 20 of his 59 years of life, and as he watched a team of police and street cleaners throw away his pile of soggy tarps and trash last week, he shrugged. “I have eight dogs, and I just don't like shelters,” he said. “Too much like jail, and I've had a lot of experience with jail. I'm just fine out here in my tent.” Jones' ability to remain outside this city's shelter system is about to get a lot harder. The same goes for every other homeless person in this rapidly growing town and virtually every other locality in the sprawling farmlands of the Central Valley. Spurred by June's U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing governments to sweep out homeless encampments without having to first offer shelter, Central Valley jurisdictions from tiny Turlock to the wide San Joaquin County are passing and enforcing stringent bans on any type of camping or loitering on public land. Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order in July urging local leaders to vigorously break down camps if they were big or disruptive enough to be deemed “dangerous” seemed to add his blessing to the efforts.

The mayor of Miami has an ambitious goal—to reach a “functional zero” homeless population within his bustling city. “We reached functional zero veteran homeless, and I realized … that we could, we should, take it a step further and get to a functional zero,” says Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican who leads Florida's second-biggest city.Miami is partnering with several organizations—including Hermanos de la Calle, Lotus House, and Camillus House—to meet the varied needs of the homeless and create a model that other cities could duplicate to tackle their own homelessness crises. But Suarez says addressing homelessness extends beyond meeting the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the homeless—cities must also create an economic environment that allows all citizens to thrive. If city leaders want to effectively address homelessness, Suarez argues, they also must consider a “broader macroeconomic reality” that plays a role in creating or alleviating the problem. To this end, the mayor says Miami's government has followed three rules: “We've kept taxes low; we've kept people safe; and we've leaned into innovation.” Suarez joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Miami is advancing toward a “functional zero” homeless population and to share the exciting results of a recent event toward reaching that goal.

Sacramento County's unhoused population drops 29%, bucking recent trends. Also, how this year's Sacramento Pride is aiming to be the greenest celebration yet. Finally, a new production in Yuba City called “Salt of the Earth.” Sacramento Homeless Population Drops Sacramento County's unhoused population plummeted 29% over the past two years to an estimated 6,615 people, according to a closely-watched survey conducted by Sacramento Steps Forward. The 2024 Point In Time Count shows a dramatic drop from the nearly 9,300 people counted in 2022, when the region's unhoused population spiked 67% from the previous survey conducted in 2019. The surveys are typically conducted every two years and are mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to qualify for federal funding. Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg discusses the strides made, as well as the ongoing challenges to overcome. Eco-Friendly Sacramento Pride The 2024 Sacramento Pride March & Festival is kicking off this weekend, June 8-9.

Creator Marc Flacks, director Lydia Crist, and lead actress Maria Ornelas talk about Salt of the Earth's continued relevance today, and the democratic process that was used to create this adaptation.

Two new reports say the city of San Francisco and the state of California are making significant progress in the homelessness crisis, but are things really getting better, or are unhoused people just being shuffled somewhere else, with a shortage of shelter beds still a very real problem? San Francisco officials declared this week that the number of tents and tent encampments on the streets has dropped significantly, 41% since last summer. They say that's proof that the crisis is easing, partly because a federal court ruled that police can take down tents if the people in them are voluntarily refusing shelter, as opposed to having no choice because there are not enough shelter beds available. Meanwhile, another report said Governor Newsom's Project Roomkey program did help move more than 60-thousand people off the streets into hotel rooms, declaring it a success as well, but most of those people ended up moving back into homelessness eventually. For more KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart, and Patti Reising spoke with Jennifer Friedenbach, Executive Director of the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco.
