Episode 1: Beyond the headlines and soundbites

Let’s clear away some of the rhetoric about homelessness and identify the key questions that frame this discussion. Dr. Marisa Zapata, director of PSU’s Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative, talks about the question she hears most often and how the answer is more nuanced than you might think. In future episodes, she will talk with experts, including those with lived experience, to understand what homelessness means for communities of color in particular, and what we can do to move forward to address it.
