Homeless encampments are growing, and cities keep sending in police to clear them out, which only makes the crisis worse. But what if the real problem isn’t the tents, it’s the system? In this episode, we sit down with Iain De Jong for an unfiltered conversation about what’s really driving encampments, why shelters aren’t the answer people think they are, and how real solutions start with trust, housing, and human connection—not punishment.

What happens when someone finally gets a second chance and a place to call home? In this episode, we reunite with Heather, Willard, and Shanel, three people featured in our new documentary, Returning Home: Prison, Homelessness, or Housing? The Choice That Changes Everything - to explore how supportive housing after incarceration doesn’t just change lives, it strengthens communities. From the landlord who took a chance to the former prisoners who now thrive in stable housing, this is a raw, honest conversation about redemption, trust, and the public power of supportive housing. Their stories show how stable housing reduces recidivism, creates safer neighborhoods, and offers real savings to taxpayers. When we invest in people coming home from prison, we all benefit.
