Scaling Up: Local Solutions to End Global Homelessness


Listen Later

Financial experts are warning that the global economy could be headed toward recession. At the same time, the pandemic, war and displacement, and the climate crisis have left many people concerned about keeping a roof over their heads.

 

In this week’s episode, sponsored in part by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we take on the global housing crisis – its roots, its demands, and how we can solve it. Ray Suarez digs deeper into two homegrown, people-powered housing initiatives for urban and rural communities across South Asia. Then, Ray is joined by Lydia Stazen, the executive director of the Ruff Institute of Global Homelesssness, to discuss how small-scale local programs can be scaled internationally to eliminate street homelessness on every continent.

Adithya Jain, co-founder and CEO of Tvasta Construction

 

Yasmeen Lari, Karachi-based architect

 

David Ireland, CEO of World Habitat

 

Lydia Stazen, executive director of the Ruff Institute of Global Homelessness
