Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) | SIEPR 2022 Spring Policy Forum: Homelessness in California @SIEPRatStanford | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 4 minutes ago
Video starts at 18:40
More than 160,000 Californians are without housing — a number close to the populations of Salinas or Hayward. Despite the billions of government and private dollars spent to prevent homelessness, that number continues to rise in California while it dips nationwide.
Is this the result of failed policies and misguided efforts? Is homelessness too complex and intractable to solve in a state so large? Do we even have enough data to support a particular path forward?
SIEPR’s spring Policy Forum brings together leading experts to delve into some of the issues driving the crisis and offer their ideas on how to address them. We’ll take stock of housing prices and shortages, mental illness and drug addiction, criminal justice, and an already fragile economic landscape.
This event was held on May 19th, 2022.
