Solutions 05: Season Finale
from This Is Reno Radio Hosted by This Is Reno
There is no silver bullet that will solve homelessness. But there are many solutions that can reduce houselessness. Our 5th episode, and the finale of our first season, covers some of what Reno locals are doing -- and recommending -- to solve the city's homeless crisis. We speak with houseless individuals, advocates, Reno's chief of police, and nonprofits about what can be done. We also visit Washoe County's Crossroads program, which has a high success rate but a lengthy waiting list. Solutions #5 relied heavily on the following sources:1.
