KQED Audio Forum

VERY INTRIGUING audio clip from KQED Radio this morning on homelessness. The issue is undoubtedly garnering national attention. The latter half of the clip has an insightful panel discussion with several experts and advocates. Prior to that, and more notably, Kevin Johnson, Mayor of Sacramento and former NBA star, shares about Sacramento's refreshing but challenging plans on dealing with homelessness not just in the city, but in the region. Like we've been saying, there are already models, either already in practice or are in process, in various cities and regions in the country that are leading the way to adequately address homelessness. We would only have to keep the wheel rolling.

A new report by The National Center on Family Homelessness says that one in 50 children in the U.S. will experience homelessness. In Sacramento, a growing number of people are living in tents along the American River. We talk with advocates about the growing number of homeless families."
