Ted Houghton discusses Housing First!, United to End Homelessness on "Human Services News and Views"
The Network’s Ted Houghton appeared on “Human Services News and Views” this week to discuss two new campaigns to address homelessness and housing in New York City.
In a dialogue with program host Allison Sesso, Mr. Houghton spoke about the Housing First! campaign to expand and preserve affordable housing and the United to End Homelessness coalition of homeless and housing advocates. Both organizations have run campaigns this year to educate NYC’s mayoral candidates. They’ve also both released detailed policy manuals for the next mayor, titled Building Stronger and A Roadmap to Ending Homelessness. You can listen to the episode here and learn more about Housing First! and United to End Homelessness here.
“We’re very much encouraged that both candidates are talking about affordable housing,” Mr. Houghton said during the program. “The fact is that the next mayor has to do something about this issue. The good news is there are proven strategies that he can adopt to really make a dent in both the housing problem and the homelessness problem.”
