Patrick Markee

Patrick Markee, a homelessness advocate and author of "Placeless: Homelessness in the New Gilded Age," dives deep into America’s shocking 2% homelessness rate. He argues that mass homelessness is a modern symptom of policy failures dating back to Reagan’s cuts. Markee reveals how normalization has led society to overlook the plight of nearly 35,000 homeless children in New York alone. He also discusses the impact of gentrification and promotes the effective Housing First model while urging listeners to engage politically and support local solutions.
