She Led U.S. Homelessness Policy. Why Is the Crisis Getting Worse?

Barbara Poppe has spent more than 40 years fighting homelessness, helped lead the Obama administration’s historic effort to end it, and today she has something most people in public service rarely have: the freedom to tell the truth.

Barb is one of the smartest people I know on homelessness and someone I’m honored to call a friend. In this deeply personal conversation, we talk about how America once moved toward ending homelessness, why we’re now going backwards, and the painful reality that the solutions we knew 40 years ago are largely the same solutions we know today.

Barb takes on criminalization, misinformation, lived experience, affordable housing, and the policy choices that keep people homeless.

Her message is both devastating and hopeful: We know how to house every single person. We could do it. We’re choosing not to.
