Jeremy Schifberg works on improving healthcare delivery – which means he works on homelessness, food insecurity, and many other issues found outside of a clinic or hospital. He found himself working on homelessness – one of Seattle’s most divisive and challenging issues – because of its unavoidable connection to good health, and now he and fellow Shaper Shireen work in support of the Third Door Coalition, one of Seattle’s most promising new initiatives dedicated to addressing chronic homelessness. In this episode of Shaping Seattle, Jeremy and Shireen talk chronic homelessness, permanent supportive housing, and the power of storytelling and cultural change.

Jamal will admit he does and does not get why people listen to things he says. If you were to ask him his opinion on why people listen to him, he'd say, "I've been around white people for too long" and if you were to ask him why people shouldn't listen to him he'd say, "I wasn't finished speaking." Leading off the first episode of the Seattle Shapers podcast, Jamal Yearwood, and fellow Shaper Jeremy, talk Health, Politics, and just enough Conspiracy. Twitter | Vacant Soles
