Debating Housing First and The Root Causes of Homelessness - A Conversation with Cathy Alderman of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless

Very excited to have Cathy Alderman (@ecalderman), on The Lonely Podcast.

Cathy is the Chief Communications and Public Policy Officer at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (@COCoalition), which is probably the largest non-profit dealing with the homelessness issue in Colorado.

In our conversation, we discuss the current homelessness crisis in Denver and throughout the United States, whether we have successfully identified the problem and the causes for homelessness, whether the “housing first” policy has proven efficient, and much more.

As you will see, Cathy and I truly disagree on many issues, and I was transparent about these disagreements before coming into this conversation. However, I would like to say that I really appreciate Cathy for agreeing to come and talk to me about these issues and engage in an honest debate about these challenging topics.

Hope you will enjoy this conversation.
