Ep048: Habitualizing Homelessness (Guest: David Marlon)


Listen Later

Homeless population growth has been a problem in both Las Vegas and rural areas such as Pahrump and Elko. Crystal and Scott sit down with David Marlon of Vegas Stronger, a Las Vegas non-profit dedicated to breaking the cycle of addiction, mental illness, and homelessness by providing compassionate, trauma-informed, evidence-based behavioral healthcare. They discuss the role that that drug addiction and mental illness plays in the homeless issue, why many strategies to address homelessness do not work, and some possible solutions. 
David Marlon is also running for Las Vegas City Council, Ward 6.
