The First You Talk podcast is about taking complex problems that affect Central Floridians and guiding listeners to understand the issue in a digestible way and come out of each episode being better informed, experiencing an increase in empathy toward others, and the ability to discuss these difficult problems in a thoughtful way.

7. Why is solving homelessness so hard? part 2

With our Point in Time Count on the rise and a new state law going into effect, we return to our very first FYT podcast episode topic to go deeper into this complex issue. From the unique way our country tracks our homeless population to Housing First and HB1365, the conversation just isn’t over. If you haven’t already, we recommend listening to Episode 1: Why is solving homelessness so hard? Part One for a general overview of this issue area.
