Our final episode of the year digs into one of the most complex issues facing Seattle and other cities across the nation – homelessness – with Pallet Founder and CEO Amy King. From its headquarters in Everett, Washington, Pallet has grown into a national leader in rapid-response housing with villages in more than 100 cities. Jon and Amy discuss how Seattle and King County are faring in the fight against homelessness, what she has learned from other cities, why she believes housing is not the cure-all for this crisis and more.
