Podcasts about Homelessness

We're coming at you with two interviews this week. First up: Voice's Jakob McWhinney published an authoritative piece on Awaken Church. On the show, McWhinney reviewed some of the historical highlights of the Evangelical Christian movement and its political proclivities. Throughout the pandemic, this church has become highly activated as an anti-vaccine, anti-lockdown, right-wing political engine. And second: The head of the Regional Task Force on Homelessness, Tamera Kohler, called us up to unpack the latest homelessness point-in-time count. We discussed the numbers, the caveats, and a few different ways we can understand the crisis right now.

This week on The Open Door, panelist Jim Hanink, Mario Ramos-Reyes, and Christopher Zehnder talk about homelessness. It's a multifaceted human tragedy. But it does not defy solution. Our welcome guest is Ted Hayes, a veteran crusader for homeless people. He just recently hosted a group of California political candidates at an encampment in Venice, California. Ted is plain-spoken and a friend of philosophers! So we'll have lots to learn from him. Among the questions we'll ask him are the following. Please feel free to add to our list!1. Mr. Hayes, Ted if we may, you are well known in Los Angeles. But could you begin by introducing yourself to our larger audience?2. How did your long advocacy for the homeless begin?3. In light of your experience, what responses to homelessness don't work? And why don't they work?4. Are there any current interventions that have shown promise?5. What are you yourself doing in Venice?6. Lately you have been speaking of the need for federal intervention. Why is that? Do you anticipate success? And if successful, do you foresee any unwelcome side effects?7. How does the California housing shortage contribute to homelessness?8. What role does mental illness play?9. Meth kills. So does fentanyl. Is there a way to fight the manufacturers and distributors of these poisons?10. The American Solidarity Party is prolife for the whole of life. Do you have any advice for us on how we can honor our commitment?

We take a sober look at Saturday's massacre of African Americans in Buffalo. The shooting was partly because of white supremacy. But the REAL reason for the shooting is it's too easy for every lunatic in America to get their hands on an assault weapon. Our nation's gun laws are an act of collective suicide. We choose weapons over peace. We prefer profits for arms manufacturers over our own security. From guns to for profit healthcare Americans are killing themselves in the name of Mammon.

Dr. Norweeta Milburn and Earl Edwards from UCLA share their recent study with co-authored with California Policy Lab colleagues Dean Obermark and Janey Roundtree: Inequity in the Permanent Supportive Housing System in Los Angeles: Scale, Scope and Reasons for Black Residents' Return to Homelessness.  A key finding shows that Black residents were 19% more likely than White residents to return to homelessness from permanent supportive housing in Los Angeles County.

What's been going on in San Francisco? The city has always had a seedy reputation, but it's starting to feel like calling these open-air drug markets “homeless encampments” is just plain crazy. Watching these encampments grow by the thousands every year is bound to pull on anyone with a compassionate heart and something needs to be done about it? A lot of what we see on the streets has less to do with affordable housing and more to do with mental health, drug addiction, and services and policies that act like magnets to these groups. Jack Russo and Melissa Cope discuss if anything can be done to solve the homeless crisis plaguing San Francisco. Want to help protect and expand access to abortion and all reproductive health care?

Over half a million Americans go homeless per night and many of us have our own reasons. Some due to the pandemic, some unforeseen forces, in my case, I've been escaping domestic violence, constant set ups, plots to destroy me, and people who would rather cross over than to see me make it in life. During this time I've learned a lot. I may not have a roof over my head, like most in situations that are identical, but this journey has and will continue to teach me a lot. More so the depths of my strength. The earth is my home and God protects me. Homelessness isn't ideal, but it got me out of some terrible environments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
