We are in the Lounge this week with Professor Laura Riley, the Director of the Clinical Program at UC Berkeley School of Law and the author of "Homless Advocacy." Professor Riley's discussion with our host, Krystal Norton, covers the stigma faced by unhoused people in the United States, the history of homelessness within the country, how being an effective advocate means competently and compassionately working with people experiencing homelessness, and models for homeless advocacy. The two also consider potential or current solutions and strategies like decriminalization of certain acts, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), litigation to create precedent, and more.
Please be sure to check out Professor Riley's book, "Homeless Advocacy," available here.
