Nationally, one in four homeless individuals are women, yet there has been little funding for supports and services aimed at this population. On The Point, we check in with local organizations that support and serve the homeless about trends and needs in our region. We hear about the latest data, the successful Housing First model, and how public/private partnerships can leverage more funding for housing creation.
Guests on the program are: Philip Mangano, president of the American Round Table to Abolish Homelessness; Carolyn Corrigan of the Homeless Ministries team for the Cape Cod Council of Churches; and Derick Bussiere, outreach specialist for Housing Assistance Corporation.
