In this episode, we discuss our recently released snapshot titled “Homelessness Among Utah Women: A 2025 Update.” This snapshot examines national and Utah trends in homelessness over the past several years, including demographic characteristics of Utah women experiencing homelessness, contributing factors, and state spending. It also highlights current efforts and opportunities for Utahns to help decrease homelessness and better meet the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. We’ll unpack all of that and more in today’s episode.
Dr. Susan Madsen, an Extension Professor of Leadership at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the UWLP and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by Dr. Robyn Blackburn, Research Fellow with the Utah Women & Leadership Project.
