Host Evelyn Lopez talks with Peter Drury and Marquay Seamster about Wellspring Family Services and the organization’s partnership with Tacoma Housing Authority, Tacoma Public Schools, and Pierce County to identify and assist families and students facing homelessness.

This is a significant problem in Tacoma. For every one person you might see living on the streets, there are five other people who are also dealing with a lack of housing, and many of them are families with children. These are our neighbors, living in cars, shifting from one short term space to another, trying to work and keep their kids in school. This is the hidden epidemic of homelessness.

There are no quick solutions to these problems, but helping people sort through the barriers to finding permanent housing, advocating and establishing relationships of trust with apartments and landlords can ease the burden. Listen to the conversation and let us know what you think.
