The Sustainable Living Podcast

Homelessness is a sad but inevitable consequence of modern living...or is it? While the statistics paint a very sobering picture, digging deep into the subject we find that homelessness isn't always what we think it is. Marianne and I welcome Brad Rowland to this important discussion to share his experiences working on behalf of homeless people in his local Colorado town. We learn that people find themselves without a home because of a variety of circumstances. Some are there as the result of violence in their home. Others are veterans having a difficult time re-integrating into civilian life.  Substance abuse can play a significant role.  Often the cause is merely a bad string of luck. But is homelessness, in fact, inevitable in today's society? Our discussion focused on envisioning a world where homelessness no longer exists and how we can all play a part in bringing this vision to life.
