Show Notes

Entire neighborhoods across the U.S. have become open-air asylums, drug markets, and impoverished wastelands—despite billions poured into homelessness programs. The tragic truth? The prevailing “solutions,” like Housing First, are failing—failing those experiencing homelessness, and failing the communities around them.

But there IS another way.

This conversation with the authors of Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, a groundbreaking new book that shines a light on proven, life-changing alternatives, looks at why current policies fall short, hear real-world success stories from San Antonio and communities across the country, and lay out bold reforms that can restore dignity, save lives, and transform struggling communities into places of hope and renewal.
