Over time, lenders’ tools — credit bureaus, scores, eviction databases, and algorithmic screening — migrated into the rental market and turned tenants into borrowers to be underwritten.
That shift created a power imbalance: landlords became risk managers, applicants faced blunt rules (minimum scores, income multipliers, strict eviction...
This episode breaks down how NIMBYism—“Not In My Back Yard”—turns reasonable worries into barriers that keep people unhoused. We unpack the emotional fears, the common myths about who becomes homeless, and the structural causes like housing costs, low wages, healthcare gaps, and criminal-legal barriers.
Then we shift to solutions: more deeply affordable housing, prevention and emergency assistance, supportive services, and accounta...

This episode explains why “standing still” isn’t neutral: keeping the same rules and housing patterns pushes prices up and pushes people out. We define deeply affordable housing, show how single‑family zoning limits supply and access, and explain how modest zoning changes (duplexes, triplexes, backyard homes) can stabilize neighborhoods without erasing character.

We connect the numbers to real lives: people on ODSP, OW, OAS/GIS, and low‑wage workers face housing instability that market supply alone won’t fix. The episode argues for a durable, mi...

We unpack outreach, drop-ins, shelters and hubs, show how trust, early warning data, and lifesaving contacts vanish when outreach is defunded, and expose the costs that show up in ERs, crises, and lost li...

We explore proven approaches like Housing First, prevention and supportive housing, and coordinated services, and offer practical ways ...
