About this Episode
In this episode of the Dive Podcast, WW journalist Anthony Effinger and host Brianna Wheeler discuss Built for Zero, an initiative that all but guarantees a solution for our growing homeless crisis. Can a new and improved dataset suddenly make safe, affordable housing a priority for our most vulnerable community members? Effinger will break down what he learned while reporting this story, including the success stories from other cities and a dirty little secret or two.
Brianna also shares what she learned from WW this week, including which iconic North Interstate neon may soon adorn a new cluster of un-affordable housing units, where potential council members stand on camp-deterring planter placement, and where to go if your physical activity of choice is low-intensity stoned twerking.
