This episode of Just Politics focuses on the U.S. housing crisis, why homelessness is often misunderstood, and what effective solutions beyond charity could look like. Sister Eilis McCulloh speaks with Coston fellow Anthony Miranda and professor of law Fran Quigley about direct outreach, eviction court, housing subsidies, and why housing policy has to reflect people’s lived realities.
Anthony and Fran bring complementary perspectives: Anthony shares about his direct outreach work to people experiencing homelessness in Cleveland, as well as his efforts in policy advocacy, while Fran brings years of public interest legal work and eviction court experience at the Health and Human Rights Clinic in Indianapolis. Together, they make the case that understanding people and their experiences is the starting point for lasting housing justice.
