Fala-se muito sobre a falta de casas e a sobrelotação, mas menos do cenário de subocupação que já perfaz 64% do parque habitacional em Portugal - casas com divisões a mais e moradores a menos.Neste último episódio dedicado à habitação, Hugo van der Ding e a demógrafa Alda Azevedo analisam este e outros desequilíbrios que estão a afetar o mercado imobiliário, propondo estratégias concretas para enfrentar o que muitos consideram ser um problema sem solução.Um estudo sobre Lisboa ilustra bem o descompasso estrutural: o fluxo de entrada de jovens adultos supera em quase o dobro o ritmo natural de renovação do parque de habitação existente.Numa altura em que a ineficiência energética dos edifícios continua a ser uma realidade, exploram-se soluções como a requalificação de grandes apartamentos em unidades menores e a partilha intergeracional.A conversa estende-se ainda ao papel estratégico das universidades e empresas como catalisadores de desenvolvimento regional e à revitalização das cidades médias como alternativa à concentração urbana - já que metade da população vive em apenas 31 dos 308 municípios portugueses.Este é um episódio que nos convida refletir: não se trata apenas de construir mais, mas de distribuir e aproveitar melhor o que já temos.REFERÊNCIAS E LINKS ÚTEISDEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH, «Low fertility in Europe: Is the pension system the solution?» (2006, Demographic Research)MDPI, «Housing as a Determinant of Mental Health Equity: A Systematic Review» (2021, MDPI) SCIENCE DIRECT, «Breaking down the Housing First model: Examining program implementation challenges from a European perspective» (2024, Cities)BIOSALDA AZEVEDODoutorada em Demografia pela Universidade Autónoma de Barcelona.

Housing First is an approach to addressing homelessness that prioritizes housing without requiring supportive services for unhoused people. Reset learns more about how these changes could impact homelessness efforts in the city and the state with local leaders on the frontlines of the issue: Christine Haley, Chief Homelessness Officer of Illinois; Sendy Soto, Chicago's Chief Homelessness Officer; and Mark Ishaug, CEO of Thresholds.

Until the trade war began, one of the most pressing issues in the country was the housing crisis. Ontario alone identified the need to build upwards of 1.5 million new homes by 2031. The federal government put billions on the table in several previous budgets, as have the provinces. But, affordability and homelessness so far haven't shown much improvement. Steve Paikin sits down with Nate Erskine-Smith, the federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities and the Liberal MP for Beaches-East York, to find out what the federal government intends to do about the housing crisis during uncertain economic and political times.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vom Computerspiel zum Mythos des guten Königs; In einem unendlichen Spiel, wo gute Menschen schlechte Dinge tun.  Chris ist zu Alexs Leidwesen diesmal vorbereitet – er hat etwas gelesen, was ihn beschäftigt. Er braucht Alex als seinen „Diamond Dog“: Warum werden Menschen in Machtpositionen gewählt, die für Chris offensichtlich fragwürdige Eigenschaften haben?Warum scheint einer der reichsten Männer der Welt (völlig unnötigerweise) bei einem Computerspiel so tun, als wäre er ein Top-Profi. Obwohl jeder echte Gamer erkennt, dass er maximal mittelmäßig ist. Das will Chris einfach nicht in den Kopf.Alex versucht, ein positives Weltbild zu bewahren, aber Chris zweifelt: Warum werden politische Entscheidungen getroffen, die nicht dem Wohl der Menschen dienen? Warum ist Housing First keine Selbstverständlichkeit? „And it all meant this:  that there are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal, kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.“
aus Small Gods, Terry Pratchett Unser Gespräch dreht sich um Macht wie Moral. Und die Frage, ob die binare Einteilung in „gute“ und „schlechte“ Menschen uns nicht daran hindert, wahre Gründe zu erkennen für das Leid, was es gibt. Ein Folterer kann gleichzeitig ein „guter“ Vater sein. Vielleicht ist manchmal nicht der einzelne Mensch das Problem, sondern die Strukturen.Sind wir in einem „zero-sum game“, in dem es nur Gewinner und Verlierer gibt? Oder doch in einem „infinite game“, in dem es darum geht, gemeinsam eine bessere Zukunft zu gestalten?Es ist wieder eine Episode mit mehr Fragen als Antworten.

Thirty years ago, housing activists began an unusual experiment to help people struggling with homelessness and chronic addiction. They decided to get people into housing first and then try to help their clients with their addictions. This idea, called "Housing First," is now the central strategy guiding homeless services in America. But the concept is facing new scrutiny and growing criticism from conservative lawmakers. Today on The Sunday Story, we look at the controversy around Housing First and consider if the strategy is working as it was designed.You can listen to Will James's full documentary on KUOW's Soundside podcast.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Finland has achieved what many countries still deem impossible: significantly reducing long-term homelessness through a Housing First model. Finland's model, which has reduced homelessness by 80% since 2008, doesn't just provide housing – it prevents homelessness through strategic urban planning, integrated support services, and proactive intervention.Join Fredrik and Leilani as they speak with Juha Kahila, Head of International Affairs at Y-Säätiö (Y-Foundation), about Finland's comprehensive approach to ending homelessness. The three discuss how homelessness isn't inevitable, but rather a result of policy choices – and how this pragmatic model could offer a blueprint for ending homelessness worldwide.Support the show

Today, we're talking with Jay Johnson, Tulsa Housing Case Manager for Mental Health Association Oklahoma.  Jay's relation with us began a couple of years ago when he, himself, was living on the streets and battling addiction. He is a shining example of why Housing First is so important and effective.   Since his time as a participant, Jay has been steadily working his way up in the agency. Once he stabilized, he was hired as part-time on-call staff, and since been promoted twice and earned three different certifications through Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Use Services, which he puts to great use serving Tulsans in need.  It was a treat to have this conversation with Jay, as he shared his experience with homelessness, what guided him through recovery and the goals he's set for himself. His drive is strong and his positivity is contagious.  After this recording, Jay emailed a follow-up thought: He wants anyone who may be struggling right now to know that if they connect with us and utilizes the services offered at MHAOK, they will be supported as they work to achieve their goals. He signed off with “you can achieve as much as you believe!” If you ARE needing assistance or if you see someone who does, please reach out to us at 405.943.3700 or 918.585.1213, or you can contact us through our website at www.mhaok.org.

As is customary, HUD released its annual report on homelessness at the end of 2024. It revealed a startling year-over-year increase in homelessness among individuals and families in the United States. Among the devastating data, there were bright spots such as a decrease in homeless veterans. But the reporting and punditry surrounding the report was less than stellar, and the news was buried in a matter of days. Crucially, some of the worst reporting on HUD’s findings came from left wing media sources who pointed to immigration as one of the drivers of the increase, conveniently and uncritically parroting conservative talking points while ignoring the more pertinent narratives.

As the Trump administration prepares to take office, a fight is brewing over the future of homelessness in America. For about a decade now, the federal government has pushed a strategy called Housing First. It's designed to get people off the streets and into permanent homes... even when they have serious problems with mental illness or substance use. Seattle was one of the earliest adopters of this approach, back in the nineties. But, over the past few years, a growing chorus of critics — mostly on the political right — has questioned Housing First. They want to go back to a time when efforts to fight homelessness focused more on getting people into treatment and having them "earn" access to subsidized housing by changing their behaviors. Now some of those critics are about to come to power in the White House, like Vice President elect JD Vance. You've probably heard of Project 2025. It's the conservative Heritage Foundation's plan for Trump's second term. It calls for an end to Housing First — a move that would upend the nation's homelessness strategy. KUOW's Will James has covered homelessness for years. He wanted to know: What is at the heart of this backlash against Housing First? And, with homelessness reaching record levels, do the critics have a point? Is it time to change course? If so, where do we go from here? Will spent months digging into these questions and brings us this original, freshly-reported documentary, which we're sharing with you for the first time today. The story starts right here in Seattle... because this city is intertwined with the history of Housing First and now, the movement against it.

(The Center Square) – Exiting King County Executive Dow Constantine is doubling down on a housing-first approach to addressing the homelessness crisis in a recent interview with ChangeWA. ChangeWA, a non-partisan organization, released an interview it had with Constantine on Wednesday. In the interview, Constantine showed continued support for the region's continued housing-first approach, despite statistics showing no signs of improvements to the crisis. In 2015 Constantine and then-Seattle Mayor Ed Murray declared homelessness an emergency facing the region. That year, the county's federally mandated Point-in-Time Count tallied 10,047 homeless people across the county. That has increased 63% to an all-time high of 16,385 unhoused people this year.

Send us a textCan Portland, Oregon truly be called “America's Mumbai”? Join me, Chad Law, as I recount my journey writing a book that explores the once-vibrant city now grappling with urban decay, homelessness, and drug addiction. Portland's struggles offer a glaring example of how political supermajorities can lead to urban decline, and how the migration of blue voters from cities like Portland is reshaping the political landscape across America. This episode isn't just about critiquing the chaos; it's a call for balanced governance to prevent such downfalls.Ever wondered how much celebrity influence really matters in politics? We're talking about the likes of Meghan McCain and Tim McGraw, questioning their authenticity and impact. From allegations against John McCain to McGraw's subtle liberal messaging, this episode scrutinizes those who seem to use their platforms for political leverage. Let's break down the perceived betrayals and call for genuine contributions to political discourse, steering clear of the hypocrisy that seems all too common.Taxes, wealth, and the controversial approaches to homelessness take center stage as I dissect proposals like Kamala Harris's wealth tax and contrast Denver's Housing First initiative with Douglas County's "Handouts Don't Help" campaign. Are traditional aid methods truly effective, or do they hinder progress? Explore these pressing issues with me, and stick around for some spirited college football banter and a Reagan-inspired call to action. Brace yourself for a lively and thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional perspectives.

On this episode, we look at Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley's innovative approach to tackling homelessness, budget challenges and systemic inequality. Crowley is among those recognized by Governing's returning Public Officials of the Year award series. Created three decades ago to spotlight solutions, not scandals, the Public Officials of the Year (POY) awards are back. Governing magazine, the sister publication of Government Technology*, is again recognizing a select group of people who make government work. For its part, The Future In Context podcast is dedicating October to deep dives on POY's Class of 2024. You'll hear from public officials themselves and the writers who profiled them in the fall issue of Governing. In this episode, we examine Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and his work to reduce homelessness, reshape public health, lead collaboratively and think strategically about the community's next chapter. Governing Editor Alan Greenblatt joins the podcast to put Milwaukee's future in context. SHOW NOTES Here are the top five takeaways from this episode: The Revival of Public Officials of the Year: Greenblatt discusses the return of Governing magazine's Public Officials of the Year awards after its print edition was discontinued in 2019. The awards celebrate individuals who have made significant contributions to state and local government. The focus is on recognizing solutions rather than highlighting conflicts or scandals. Collaborative Leadership in Milwaukee: David Crowley, Milwaukee County executive, and Mayor Cavalier Johnson are highlighted as prime examples of close political collaboration. Their longstanding relationship and cooperative work have led to legislative successes, like allowing Milwaukee County to raise local sales taxes, which has helped address long-standing budget issues. The two were together so often that they joked they should have carpooled. Systemic and Long-Term Vision: Crowley is praised for taking a long-term, systems-based approach to governance. His focus on integrating various government initiatives (housing, health, etc.) under a strategic vision contrasts with the short-term crisis management that often dominates government action. His approach is aimed at improving health outcomes, housing and other critical public services in Milwaukee. Success in Reducing Homelessness With Housing First: Milwaukee County's successful implementation of the Housing First model has resulted in a 92 percent reduction in homelessness over a decade. Greenblatt emphasizes the collaborative efforts between the county, city and nonprofit organizations as key to this achievement.

4 PILLARS OF AMERICAN FASCISM; THE TRAGEDY OF HOMELESSNESS     We begin GREEP zoom #183 with HEDY TRIPP and her announcement of the public showing of the new documentary film “Detroit's Olympic Uprising.”    The great ANDREA MILLER from the Center for Common Ground then takes us through a devastating exposition of the US Supreme Court's decision to restore an absolute monarchy to the North American continent.   Her “Protecting Democracy from the Court” lays out in terrifying detail the Supremes' attack on democracy.  Their decisions range from dismissing charges against January 6 insurrectionists to establishing the divine right of a sitting president—-and maybe even an ex-president—-to break any laws they want.   MYLA RESON asks about the Biden Plan for reorganizing the Supreme Court.     ERIC LAZARUS proposes a civil assembly to substitute for the Court as is done in Ireland.   GREGG GORDON says “we're the King” and points out that the Court's decision now applies to President Biden, giving him absolute power….for the time being.   LYNN FEINERMAN tells us of GREG PALAST'S cinematic warning, in the movie “Vigilantes”,  against vote challenging, which allows a single individual to disqualify thousands of registered voters without due process.     Georgia's RAY MCCLENDON confirms our worst nightmare about mass disqualifications in the Peach State among others.  An Executive Order from the President would have no impact against this because of state's rights.  Ray urges us to focus on local election boards to counter this assault on democracy.   WENDI LEDERMAN, MIKE HERSH, PAUL NEWMAN, STEVE KAISER and DENNIS BERNSTEIN chime in on various aspects of this deep attack on our democracy.   We then welcome the legendary DONALD WHITEHEAD of the National Coalition for the Homeless.  Dr. Whitehead takes us deep into the horrifying plague of homelessness that now so deeply taints the American soul.   LORI GRACE then begins digging into the Project 2025 documents and provisos that might include a treason trial for Liz Cheney complete with execution of, at least, the death penalty.  In the eyes of Christian Nationalists, she said, “God has ordained Trump.”   TATANKA BRICCA brings us consideration of the Housing First organization that is successful 90% of the time for people who are unhoused.   SANDY BOLZENIUS tells us of Move to Amend which works against the Citizens United decision that has opened the floodgates for corporations to take over our government and extinguish our democracy.   DR. NANCY NIPARKO reminds us tat a major part of the homeless crisis has to do with overpricing on rents, bad zoning regulations and more.   Tatanka reminds us of the horrendous crisis we face with LEONARD PELTIER, who faces a de facto death penalty unless he is soon freed.   STEVE CARUSO has engineered another phenomenal gathering.  We'll see you next week!!!

You know what it's like. There is a stirring inside. A whisper that tells you which direction to head in. I've heard it. I've followed it and amazing things have happened. Someone else that has trusted the whisper is Kathy Izard. In this conversation, we focus on listening to and trusting God's whispers to follow one's life path and calling. Kathy shares her personal journey of hearing God's call to address homelessness in her community through founding a housing program. She discusses how communities can come together through a "housing first" approach to help the homeless population. Kathy emphasizes surrendering to God's plan and trusting that he will work through you, despite feelings of being unqualified or unexpected difficulties. So listen for your own whispers from God and have faith to follow where it leads. Join us as we learn to trust the whisper. Kathy Izard is an award-winning author, a national speaker and retreat leader, and an advocate for housing and mental health services in Charlotte, North Carolina. She co-led the citywide effort to build Moore Place, Charlotte's first permanent, supportive housing for people experiencing chronic homelessness, and was instrumental in establishing HopeWay, Charlotte's first residential mental health treatment center. She wrote about her efforts in her memoir The Hundred Story Home, which received a 2017 Christopher Award for inspirational nonfiction.

The dual challenges of mental illness and lack of affordable housing are pressing issues in this election year. In March, California voters narrowly approved Proposition 1, which allocates $6.4 billion to construct new housing and treatment facilities for people with mental illness statewide. But will this measure truly benefit this vulnerable population? Professor Neil Gong delves into the history of mental health treatment in the U.S. and how it has shaped our current system and policy conversations. He tells stories of people he met through his research to highlight the stark differences between mental health care available to the wealthy and the poor, and explores potential policy changes to address the intertwined challenges of homelessness and mental health.  For more of Neil Gong's work: Read his recent book, Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness and Homelessness in Los Angeles Check out his opinion piece on Proposition 1 in the Los Angeles Times  Read his analysis on the Housing First strategy in The American Prospect

New Hampshire voters have spoken, and it seems increasingly clear that this November's election will pit President Joe Biden against former President Donald Trump. Both appear to be making health a key part of their campaigns, with Trump vowing (again) to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and Biden stressing his support for contraception and abortion rights. Meanwhile, both candidates will try to highlight efforts to rein in prescription drug prices. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, and Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call join KFF Health News chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Sarah Somers of the National Health Law Program about the potential consequences for the health care system if the Supreme Court overturns a key precedent attempting to balance executive vs. judicial power. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: Health Affairs' “‘Housing First' Increased Psychiatric Care Office Visits and Prescriptions While Reducing Emergency Visits,” by Devlin Hanson and Sarah Gillespie.

It’s a new year, and that means experts — and nonexperts — have lots of guesses about what 2024 may hold. In this episode, we’ll talk about some of those predictions. Will inflation hit to 3%? Will consumer credit keep ticking up? Will gas prices drop below $3 a gallon? Signs point to yes. Plus, Houston has been nationally recognized for its successful Housing First approach to homelessness. But keeping up those programs will mean more funding, especially as housing costs rise.
