BTS 36: Returning to The Hydra of Homelessness – Micro-Unit Housing

Season three of this podcast was titled “The Hydra of Homelessness.” In that season, back in 2022, we looked at a number of different issues connected to homelessness to get a more complete view of the complexity of that issue. On this episode we are returning to the Hydra of Homelessness.

Joel talks with Julie Graham the Board Chair of In Our Backyard – “a nonprofit founded by members of Central Lutheran Church in Anchorage, Alaska that proactively addresses the needs of our unhoused neighbors using micro-units.”

Joel also speaks with Eric Visser from Visser Construction about the mirco-units The municipality is building for the purposes of recovery residences. Mayor LaFrance has stated that “These micro-units will be a vital bridge to stability for people as they transition out of homelessness.”
