Episode 1: Stranger in a Strange Land: Understanding Homelessness and Community - a podcast by UPenns School of Social Policy & Practice

More than 1.5 million men, women, and children are homeless every year. They move into shelter at their most vulnerable moments, but are sometimes met by new neighbors who fear that with them comes violence, drug use, worse schools, and lower property values. We dig into the research to see if this holds true (spoiler alert, it doesn’t) and we’ll hear from three people with unique perspectives on homeless shelters to hear how homeless families impact a community, and how the community impacts them.
