KPCC Radio with Mark Horvath, Sean Condon (Street Paper Association), Rabbi Marvin Gross (CEO, Union Station)

Carlos is 21 and homeless in Hollywood

By now you all have heard about the Homeless Hotspot controversy. Today I was asked to join a conversation about the homeless hotspots with Sean Condon, Board Vice President, Co-chair, North American Street Newspaper Association; Executive Director of Megaphone, a magazine sold on the streets of Vancouver by homeless and low-income vendors and Rabbi Marvin Gross, CEO, Union Station Homeless Services.

This was by far the best conversation I have heard about the homeless hotspot and the media drama surrounding it. Please take a moment and listen to this interview:
