The Affordable Housing Problem And Its Ties To Homelessness
In this episode of the Restorers Podcast, we take a closer look at housing!
Of course, when you think of homelessness, it’s natural to think of lack of housing. But what is it actually like to try to get an apartment, while you're experiencing homelessness? In this episode, Jack Crowley chats with Mike McKenna, CEO of Tenfold, to get to the bottom of affordable housing in Lancaster.
Plus, you’ll hear from Water Street’s own Wilsa Voigt, a Case Manager who helps guests find housing in our residential program each day. She’ll break down what barriers guests face while applying for housing, but also point to some of the great housing successes she’s witnessed recently.
