A community in Austin, Texas

Our nephew Matthew has a complex past, one that includes living homeless in Spokane. Listen to his experience of the problem from the street side. If you have any questions about homelessness, pass them along to suelani@spokanetalksmedia.com for a future interview with others who have experienced being homeless in Spokane. There is no one story, no one systemic answer.

In this Forthright episode, Sue Lani receives reader feedback to a recent Spokesman-Review column on homelessness in Spokane. It's complex, it's tragic, and it's everyone's problem. Seeking an easy villain is as useless as believing there is a simple solution. We can do better if we pull together instead of pointing fingers.
