The Plight of the “Hidden Homeless” in Georgia

As the important "Point in Time" Homeless count begins after a weather delay this week, Scott's speaking to journalist Brian Goldstone about his remarkable book, "There Is No Place For Us: Working and Homeless In America." Brian took six years to report and research the book, while basically imbedding with five hidden homeless families in Atlanta. Their search for permanent housing inspires both sympathy and outrage at the factors that deny them a roof of their own, no matter how hard they might work to earn it. While the annual Point in Time count is important, Brian says these hidden homeless families are missed by the annual count that looks for those living on the streets or in shelters; they would fill Truist Park three times over in Georgia alone. "There Is No Place For Us" has been declared a 2025 top ten book of the year by The Atlantic and the NY Times Book Review. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645871/there-is-no-place-for-us-by-brian-goldstone/
