Alexandria Ayala,Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County | Florida Woman Out Front

Alexandria Ayala, CEO of the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, joins hosts Michael Williams and Brian Crowley for a conversation that covers far more than homelessness. Ayala breaks down who is really unhoused in South Florida, why the official numbers tell only part of the story, and how cuts at HUD and Florida's anti-camping law are squeezing nonprofits and the people they serve. The former Palm Beach County School Board member, elected at 25, also speaks candidly about young people disengaging from politics, the erosion of institutional trust, and what it will take to bring new generations back into civic life. She hints at future political ambitions without tipping her hand.Top of Mind Florida is hosted by veteran journalists Michael Williams and Brian Crowley.
