My Homelessness Article in the NY Post
Confronting a troubling issue with courage and clarity.
In case you missed it, I was in Sunday’s New York Post with a piece about homelessness policy in the US and our work at the Cicero Institute.
Policies like Housing First without treatment are failing those who live on the street — but they have been lucrative for many activists. We’ve been promoting a different approach across the country, emphasizing treatment, incentives, and cleaning up dangerous tent camps.
One of the most extraordinary moments in our work was when we partnered last year with a courageous Missouri legislator who was homeless herself as a young woman to upend the homeless status quo in her state. I discuss how Sen. Rehder and other leaders are standing up to the corrupt activists and NGO’s that are spreading misery and breaking our cities.

It's easy to criticize your critics. How about a piece that focusses on what specifically you do and what you have accomplished?
This piece outlines steps that can be taken to reduce homelessness. Joe quite correctly points to various organizations that actually profit from homelessness-- they will not support measures that actually reduce the problem. True also for other social problems-- but let's start here, with homelessness. Thanks, Joe, for moving these approaches forward.
