The Missing Conversation

Funding Alternative Housing Solutions with Elizabeth Funk - Episode 5


Listen Later

Guest Elizabeth Funk, innovator and Board Member of Life Moves, talks with host Robert Strock about her work in the microfinance industry abroad and current focus and efforts to eliminate homelessness in the United States. Together, they shed new light on the complexity of the growing housing crisis, from the needs of interim housing to potential solutions that involve portable, permanent housing units. The COVID pandemic has left more people unsheltered, but it's also been a catalyst for changing attitudes and forces that have acted as barriers to permanent housing solutions. New ideas are on the horizon as organizations develop practical solutions that benefit the unsheltered and private companies and citizens, such as private developers or landowners leasing unused land for use of portable, permanent shelters. Funk also shares ways listeners can promote, help, and become a part of eliminating homelessness.
