What if we could just give homeless people homes?

<p>Siew and I discussed what we accomplished the past week. I had a couple of interesting meetings with a couple of organizations working on homelessness with hopes of getting plugged in. Siew spent the week playing with data. In this episode we wax a little philosophical about some of our initial findings. Can we do what it takes to end homelessness? Can we have skin in the game? I had a nice zoom meeting with a representative from <a href="https://umom.org/">UMOM</a> and another in person meeting at the <a href="https://tempefirstumc.org/urban-outreach/?fbclid=IwAR3tnD5UwI88q_zRzEn4VAa5w1SO8-LooUBrOseWI6DJUDVUtf2-Jb_QJ1A">Tempe First United Methodist Church</a>. Siew has begun to dig into the data he pulled off of the <a href="https://www.usich.gov/solutions/">United States Interagency Council on Homelessness</a> which he'll be pulling into a blogpost soon. We discuss how zoning laws might affect homeless, referencing an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/11/opinion/california-san-francisco-schools.html">article by Ezra Klein</a>. I've also started listening to a <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9ob21lbGVzc2luc2FuZGllZ28ubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M?sa=X&amp;ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwj4yOun6_fuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ&amp;hl=en">podcast on homelessness and cite a few stories from there</a>.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scottandsiew/message
