We continue our series, “In Search of Home: Solutions for the Homelessness Crisis” with an examination of what it takes to help a person experiencing homelessness find their way into permanent housing. We talk with providers operating transitional housing with wrap-around services and rapid rehousing programs, that help with leasing new apartments, about the most effective ways to move a formerly homeless person or family into a permanent home.

Guests:

Vivian Wan, chief executive officer, Abode, a nonprofit that provides services and housing in the Bay Area

Lydia Chriss, Hamilton Families client

Kyriell Noon, executive director, Hamilton Families
