How Systemic Biases Keep People on the Street
Manage episode 327624084 series 3319343
Welcome to The Right to Shower, where we believe access to cleanliness is a human right. Today, we discuss the laws, norms, and biases that reinforce living on the streets. Joining host Darius Baxter, President and CEO of GOODProjects, for this conversation is Associate Professor at UAB school of public health and co-author of the 2020 article “Patients’ perspectives on elements of stable housing and threats to housing stability,” Dr. Ann Elizabeth Montgomery. Listen as Dr. Montgomery discusses systemic homelessness, the way our biases and norms keep people experiencing homelessness in a cycle of disadvantage, and why it is vital to hear from those actually experiencing homelessness.
