Wayne Winegarden, PRI’s senior director and economist joins the Larry Conners Show on KTRS St. Louis to discuss his new book No Way Home, on California’s homeless challenges and solutions cities and policymakers can take to help those in need. Winegarden is a co-author along with PRI’s Kerry Jackson, Christopher Rufo, and Joseph Tartakovsky.
The book examines the causes of homelessness with a focus on unaffordable housing, poverty, mental illness, substance addiction, and legal reform and evaluates different strategies being used at the state, county, and local levels to prevent or reduce homelessness.
