June 22, 2017 Living Without a Home in San Francisco: 3 stories and 4 questions
Since Bay Curious first answered your questions on homelessness in 2017, the cost of living has continued to rise in the Bay Area and with it, the number of people living without a home.
In the nine county Bay Area, just over 34,000 people are experiencing homelessness, according to point-in-time counts conducted in January by most counties
In at least five of the nine counties, the recent count revealed an increase in the number of homeless people from the last time the count was done in 2017.
In this episode, we explore four common questions about homelessness with Audrey Cooper, editor in chief of The San Francisco Chronicle and Kevin Fagan, a reporter with The San Francisco Chronicle who has covered homelessness for more than two decades.
