In our second episode of Uniquely American Problems, we’ll share a chat with Lily Milwit, Attorney for the Housing Not Handcuffs initiative from the National Homelessness Law Center.

The National Homelessness Law Center is dedicated to using the power of the law to end and prevent homelessness and to protect the rights of people experiencing homelessness.

We talked about the assumptions people have about being unhoused and what’s at risk when you don’t have permanent shelter. We also talk about the cost to the taxpayers when someone is unhoused - not to spoil the episode, but housing folks actually saves taxpayers money - and not just a few bucks, but tens of thousands of dollars year over year.
