Kevin Fagan Takes A Deep, Immersive Look At Surviving Homelessness

Former San Francisco Chronicle reporter Kevin Fagan spent more than three decades reporting on everything from wildfires to serial killers but he has been especially dogged in his coverage of the city’s seemingly intractable homelessness problem. His new book, “The Lost and the Found,” draws on his extensive, immersive reporting to tell the stories of two homeless people – how they ended up on the streets of San Francisco and how they left. We talk with Fagan about his detailed portrait of what it is like to survive without shelter and why it’s so difficult to resolve an issue that has long plagued our region.

Guests:

Kevin Fagan, author of “The Lost and The Found;" longtime, award-winning journalist and former reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle specializing in homelessness and serial killers.
