How to end homelessness
“Homelessness is a housing problem. We know how to end it. We just need the political will.”
Marybeth Shinn studies how to prevent and end homelessness to create opportunities for groups that face social exclusion. In this inspiring talk, Shinn addresses one of the most persistent misconceptions in the field: homelessness is too complex a problem to solve. Shinn discusses her research involving rental subsidies and explains how solutions that raise incomes or reduce housing costs can be effective in reducing homelessness.
