Tackling Homelessness, In San Francisco And Beyond (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

It is not so hard to become homeless in this country. Millions of Americans live one paycheck from zero. Jobs go away. Houses too. Families break. Drugs and mental illness play in. And the results are easy to see in American streets. Homeless people. Some trying to hold it together. Some just lost. San Francisco has a big homeless population. It’s just taken an extraordinary look at the problem, and solutions. This hour On Point, American homelessness, and the new push in San Francisco. — Tom Ashbrook
