Nithya and her co-host Hayes go step by step through the process of helping someone get housed, starting from meeting them and ending with making sure they’re equipped to stay indoors. Along they way, they dive in on different types of homelessness, different types of shelters, different types of shelter funding, and much more.

Last year, the growth of homelessness in LA slowed for the first time in years, but new countywide data shows that trend reversing. What’s driving that dynamic — and how can LA address it?
Nithya talks about the new numbers, lessons learned from another city that’s had success fighting homelessness, bureaucratic blockages, the massive changes in LA’s leadership over the last year, and a “cage match” dinner party in Vanity Fair.
