In this episode, we'll shine a light on the often overlooked and stigmatized issue of homelessness within urban environments. Hear from experts, social workers, and unhoused individuals about the complex web of factors that contribute to the growing crisis, from economic inequality to mental health challenges and addiction. Explore the ways in which the urban landscape itself can exacerbate the plight of the homeless, and the unique vulnerabilities they face to exploitation, violence, and criminal activity. We'll also examine the shortcomings of existing support systems and the need for more comprehensive, compassionate, and community-driven solutions to address this pressing social issue.
