Podcast appearances and mentions of omar passons

Host Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, welcomes you to the Homeless in San Diego Podcast — Season Two: “Homebound.” This season we are diving into four topics: Housing, Recovery, Poverty, and Mental Health. Here to talk about their expertise with Poverty is Omar Passons and Janey Rountree. Omar is the Director of Integrative Services for the County of San Diego and Janey is the founding Executive Director of the California Policy Lab at UCLA. Together, they are implementing research-based solutions to address poverty at the ground level. Janey’s research is developing groundbreaking algorithms to determine whether someone will become homeless. This is one of the most important questions about prevention: Can homelessness be predicted?
