In episode 2 of the Flatland show, our panelists answer this question submitted through our engagement initiative curiousKC. John M asked:
“Isn’t it cheaper to provide free housing for Kansas City’s unhoused population rather than spending money on 911 calls and emergency medical services?”
Watch to learn what panelists Brian Platt, Kansas City, Missouri city manager, and Marqueia Watson, director of the Greater Kansas City Coalition to End Homelessness, have to say.
We’re Flatland, a destination for those who share boundless curiosity, home of curiousKC, and the digital platform of Kansas City PBS.
