The Violence of Homeless Sweeps

The homeless sweeps that are happening around the country are incredibly violent and traumatizing for unhoused people. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss two pieces, including “Homeless ‘Sweeps’ Increase Mortality Rates of Unhoused People, Research Finds” by Zane McNeill in Truthout and a report called “Homelessness and Racial Disparities” by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, and what we learn about these homeless sweeps and the current issues and trends related to homelessness in this country, as well as what our society should do to address the systems and conditions that fail people in order to hopefully bring an end to homelessness in this country.
