In My Place, Episode 8: The impact of homelessness on residents and business owners

In places where there is homelessness, we often see clashes between neighbors and businesses, service providers and the government. And, as neighbors and businesses lose patience, they can put pressure on politicians to find quick solutions, which can result in the abrupt removal of people and their encampment structures from public spaces. In today’s episode, we discuss how to mitigate tension by finding the middle ground — and solutions that address the needs of those experiencing homelessness and reduce negative community impact.This series was created thanks in part to support from Pinnacle Financial Partners and was produced by Judy Tackett and Tasha A.F.
