Homelessness Through a Peacemaking Lens
In many urban settings, there is a significant unhoused population on the streets. According to the data from 2020, more than half a million people in the United States are unhoused. Many of us want to help but may feel conflicted about how. On this edition of PEACE TALKS RADIO correspondent Emily Cohen explores the dynamics of homelessness with three guests working to assist people living on the street, including Miranda Twitchell who is a leader in the unsheltered community in which she has lived on and off for the past several years in Salt Lake City. Also on the program, Wren Fialka, the founder of Spread the Love Commission, and Eva Thibadeau-Graczyk the CEO of Temenos Community Development Corporation in Houston, practicing the “Housing First” approach to the problem.
