  • Why Housing Reduces Crime and Saves Taxpayer Money

    Why Housing Reduces Crime and Saves Taxpayer Money
    Feb 22 2026
    When people leave prison with nowhere to go, the outcome is predictable. Homelessness. Survival. And too often, a return to jail.

    One of the leading drivers of homelessness is people exiting the criminal justice system without housing — especially when mental illness or addiction is involved. The cycle is expensive, inhumane, and preventable.

    In this episode, Terri Power and Jenee Jenkins from CSH join me to talk about Returning Home Ohio, a cutting-edge collaboration with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The program uses supportive housing to reduce recidivism, improve public safety, and save taxpayer money.

    This conversation goes beyond theory. It’s about what actually works.

    We also produced a powerful documentary on this work — sparked by Jenee’s idea — that you can watch in the link below.

  • Unseen and Uncounted: Indigenous Homelessness in California

    Unseen and Uncounted: Indigenous Homelessness in California
    Feb 11 2026
    "There are still tribes that don't have running water. There is no electricity. This is California, not a third-world country. It's in our backyard."

    Mariah McGill and Christine De Los Santos from Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority share a truth that most Americans don't know exists: the invisible crisis of indigenous homelessness. When they partnered with Mendocino County to actually count Native Americans experiencing homelessness, going where others never looked, to the storage containers, makeshift tents, and forgotten corners of reservations, they discovered that 37% of the homeless population was indigenous. They had been there all along. Just uncounted.

    This conversation goes beyond statistics. It's about elders living without dignity, about sovereignty that's been ignored, about 109 federally recognized tribes in California alone fighting for recognition. But it's also about hope. About housing that heals, that preserves language and culture, that wraps around people with traditional practices and community care. It's about building homes where Native people don't feel like they're in jail, where gardens grow traditional plants, where elders design spaces for elders.

    "Partner with the people you're looking to serve," Christine urges. "They are the experts."

    A conversation that will open your eyes to a crisis hiding in plain sight and to the indigenous leaders refusing to let their people remain invisible.

  • Street Medicine: When Homeless People Can’t Access Healthcare

    Street Medicine: When Homeless People Can’t Access Healthcare
    Jan 24 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Brett Feldman, one of my all-time favorite people and a national leader addressing homelessness through street medicine. Brett directs USC Street Medicine, which provides healthcare in Los Angeles to homeless people living unsheltered under bridges, in riverbeds, and in encampments because for many people experiencing homelessness, reaching a clinic is impossible.


    Over the years, we have worked closely together, including traveling to four cities across California to follow and document street medicine teams serving homeless communities. In this conversation, Brett explains why outreach alone does not work, how street medicine improves housing outcomes, and why treating homelessness as a public health issue matters. We also talk about why street medicine does not just save lives. It saves taxpayer money by reducing emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and preventable public health crises.


    If you care about homelessness, public health, or real solutions that work in Los Angeles and beyond, this episode matters.
