Homelessness in America is on the rise - but what can the everyday person do to combat this terrible epidemic? Dr. Robert Marbut is the man for the job. He is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and has consulted on the issue of homelessness for three different presidential administrations. As the CEO of Haven for Hope, Robert shares insight about the scourge of homelessness and the vapid ineffectiveness of threadbare homeless programs. In addition, he addresses how to get to the root of the issue and help rescue people from the streets, into recovery, and away from homelessness for good. Homeless individuals should be approached with love and welcomed with a “come as you are” attitude of acceptance.
