Alberta is uniquely positioned to be a leader in ending homelessness. Tim Richter, president & CEO of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness joins Todd Hirsch, Chief Economist, to discuss the current and future state of affordable housing and homelessness in Alberta and beyond.
This episode explores how Medicine Hat ended chronic homelessness, and how other cities and provinces are leveraging solutions to make big impacts.
Economic costs and data is shared throughout the episode to bring understanding to the economic strain homelessness has on communities, versus the economic benefits of ending homelessness and ensuring affordable housing for all.
