Changing the Narrative About Homelessness
Homelessness Isn’t a Crime
In this episode, Anne talks with Ethan Ward, journalist and podcaster and Adam Murray, CEO of Inner City Law Center, about the criminalization of homelessness. Why are we seeing a return to criminalization of the unhoused across the country? Once again, cities are engaging in encampment sweeps, and instituting overnight parking bans and bans on sitting or sleeping near schools, libraries, and daycares. We have gone down this negative path before and it didn’t work. We can’t arrest our way out of the homeless crisis.
This podcast is produced by Brenda Lynch and Katie Cookerly-Dietrich, edited by Jesse Lumen, with production assistance and music by Colin Feldmeth. Special thanks to our Union Station Homeless Services Lived Expertise Advisory Panel (LEAP) for their insights.
