Intro

What constitutes homelessness? In his new book, “There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America”, author Brian Goldstone documents the stories of five families in Atlanta that despite having full time work are living unhoused. We talk with Goldstone and Margot Kushel, Director of the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, about the circumstances that render unhoused people invisible in terms of statistics and resources, the experience of having a job but not housing, and the many implications of undercounting unhoused people, especially families, in America.

Guests:

Dr. Margot Kushel, director, Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative; professor of medicine at UCSF

Brian Goldstone, journalist, author of “There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America”
