The good and the bad in new homelessness numbers; municipal drama in Mountain View; a Tiny Desk finalist from Colorado
Description
The number of people experiencing homelessness last year held steady, but digging into the numbers reveals a potentially concerning trend, when it comes to youth living on the streets. Then, on Denver’s western border, officials in the tiny town of Mountain View have been filing complaints against each other at a furious clip. And we meet Lauren Frihauf, a Colorado musician who caught the judges’ ears during NPR’s annual Tiny Desk contest.
