    Episode 6: No Silver Bullet

    Homelessness has become a political issue. As voters in Los Angeles – and in cities across the U.S. – get ready to go to the polls in November, how successful – or unsuccessful – local politicians have been in addressing homelessness will likely mean the difference between a candidate's victory or defeat. So, what is the role of elected officials in addressing homelessness? In No Silver Bullet, we sit down with local politicians in L.A. to discuss this question and explore what happens when housing gets political.  -  Show sponsors The Sum of Us: https://www.thesumofuspodcast.com/ The Light Phone: https://www.thelightphone.com/products?ref=benkay

    Episode 5: Money Talks

    Los Angeles is ground zero for unsheltered homelessness in the U.S., with 52,000 unsheltered in a total homeless population of 75,000. Angelenos have invested deeply in addressing this crisis, voting overwhelmingly in past years to tax themselves in order to fund homeless services. As the housing crisis continues and with local funding set to expire soon, however, Angelenos going to the polls in November will again be faced with a critical decision about the role tax dollars play in funding housing, prevention, and homeless services. In Money Talks, we speak to system leaders and funders about this new ballot measure and what’s at stake if it doesn't pass. -  Show sponsors The Sum of Us: https://www.thesumofuspodcast.com/ The Light Phone: https://www.thelightphone.com/products?ref=benkay

    Episode 4: The Pursuit Of Peace

    Substance use and homelessness have become synonymous in recent years. But what is the actual relationship between the two? Does problematic substance use cause homelessness or does homelessness increase someone's use of substances? In The Pursuit of Peace, we sit down with system and healthcare leaders to discuss how homelessness and substance use interact, dive into how the U.S. has historically addressed substance use, and explore if there’s a better way forward. -  Show sponsors The Sum of Us: https://www.thesumofuspodcast.com/ The Light Phone: https://www.thelightphone.com/products?ref=benkay

    Episode 1: Home Makes Us Whole

    Before we can begin to better understand homelessness, we first need to ask ourselves: Why is a home so important? Why do humans need one? What puts housing at risk? And what happens when we lose our home? Our pilot episode, Home Makes Us Whole, explores these questions with leaders in Los Angeles and beyond who have dedicated their lives to ending homelessness. -  Show sponsors The Sum of Us: https://www.thesumofuspodcast.com/ The Light Phone: https://www.thelightphone.com/products?ref=benkay
