Volunteers Take On The Homelessness Crisis, Part 2: 'The Forever Bandaid'
#200: This is Part 2 of a multipart series, exploring the kinds of services mutual aid groups are providing for our unhoused neighbors. Many people experiencing homelessness rely on volunteers for basic needs like water or overdose prevention.
The situation leaves many people we spoke to wondering: "Why is this work being done by volunteers?"
Today, HTLA host Brian De Los Santos and producer Evan Jacoby bring this question to our city leaders.
Guests: LA Mayor Karen Bass; Councilmember Kevin de León of Council District 14; Councilmember Nithya Raman of Council District 4; Hawk, U.S. Veteran & Skid Row Resident; Sade Kammen, Volunteer With WaterDrop LA; Nick Gerda, LAist Unhoused Communities Reporter
Music in this episode composed by: Dexter Thomas, Evan Jacoby, Floating Points, Ill Considered, Imaginary Softwoods, indiegamemusic.com, Nala Sinephro, Laurie Spiegal, Meitei, Ricky Eat Acid, Woo
