    Why one Seattle organization says new data doesn't measure Native homelessness accurately — again

    A new estimate for the number of unhoused people in King County is out.  Over the past two years, the new data shows a 9% increase in the homeless population on any given night in King County, and over 18,000 homeless people in the region. One of the standout data points?  The new count also suggests a nearly 11 percent decrease in the number of Indigenous people who are unhoused in our region, since 2020. And that should be good news. But the county’s only urban housing and homelessness service provider dedicated to Native people says the latest figures represent an undercount. And according to them, it’s not the first time.

    Hear it Again: Ever been abandoned on the trail? There's a name for that.

    Has something like this happened to you before?  You’re on a hike with someone, maybe a romantic partner, and you start slowing down, or want to take a break, but your partner wants to push on. Eventually, you’re left behind as your partner goes ahead without you. And this situation has consequences for the relationship. If so, you’re not alone.  The phrase “Alpine Divorce” was coined in a short story about a murderous husband over 100 years ago - but TikTok has lately adopted the label for less dastardly scenarios. In a recent viral post, a woman sobs as she climbs down a mountain - saying “he left me”. The video has thousands of comments, many of which share similar stories of being left behind on the trail. But how common is Alpine Divorce? And is it actually a bad thing to spend some solo time on the trail? Guest: Alaina Demopoulos, daily features writer for the Guardian Related Link: Women are being abandoned by their partners on hiking trails. What’s behind ‘alpine divorce’?

    Unpacking how supportive housing could affect the number of King County jail visits

    New data from King County shows putting people in housing without preconditions like drug treatment has had some significant benefits.  The report comes from the King County Department of Community and Human Services and shows a decrease in jail bookings among those in permanent supportive housing programs between 2021-2025.  Seattle has been a national leader in using such “Housing First” initiatives. But funding for those programs is at risk, to the tune of $26 million – that’s after the Trump administration released a new rule earlier this month, requiring providers to move away from Housing First programs in order to qualify for HUD grants next year.What more does this data analysis show? And what's lost if federal funding goes away?

    The AI device that's listening to my aging dad's every move

    As Americans age, they have a few options for care in their later years, like moving in with a family member or into an assisted-living facility.  Or aging in place.... Increasingly, with the assistance of AI.  Steven Blum is a writer from Seattle now based in Austria. He published a piece about his aging father, who lives alone in Seattle and is being monitored through Sensi.  It’s an AI device that’s constantly listening for signs of distress. It’s supposed to detect if Blum’s dad has fallen.  It was an option that made sense, because his father doesn’t want to move out of his home. He isn’t alone.  Last year, the Pew Research Center asked older Americans what they would do if they couldn’t live by themselves anymore.  Around 60% said that they’d rather stay in their homes and have someone care for them, instead of moving into an assisted living facility or a nursing home.   As Americans enter their later years, AI could be part of their care.  Guest: Steven Blum, a writer based in Austria  Related links:  My Father Wants to Age in Place.
