Episode Details

Paterson just landed a bold move: Angela Fields, a hometown hero with 15 years in public policy and advocacy, is now the city’s first-ever homeless czar. Working from the mayor’s office and funded by grants, she’ll unite city departments to tackle homelessness holistically — from encampments and panhandling to substance use and neighborhood safety. Her mission? Use data-driven policies and coordinated action to help unhoused residents transition to stable housing, while boosting effectiveness for all agencies involved. This isn’t just symbolism — it’s a strategic leap to turn scattered efforts into real, measurable progress.
