Camping bans. Street sweeps. Supreme Court decisions. Colorado Radio for Justice host JoyBelle Phelan sits down with Dr. Don Burnes – researcher, author, and 40-year veteran of homelessness policy – to dig into the homelessness-to-incarceration cycle in America. Why don’t bans and sweeps work? How and why is poverty increasingly criminalized in this country?Why does “tough love” miss the mark? Burnes introduces the concept of ‘relational poverty,’ challenges myths about addiction and mental illness, and explains why the math of minimum wage versus housing costs simply doesn’t add up. And yes, he says, there is reason for hope – if communities, states, and the nation can find the political will.
