Episode Details

Shelters meant to help the homeless may be doing more harm than good—only three people moved into permanent housing in a year, while others face harsh discharge even in winter, risking lost IDs, meds, and dignity. With inconsistent enforcement and little oversight, these low-barrier shelters often cycle people through the system without solving root causes. My own struggle to appeal a discharge and retrieve vital mail exposes systemic gaps—and now, courts will decide. It’s time for an independent review: success must be measured by lasting housing, not speed, and by protecting the most vulnerable, not just processing them.
