What does it really take to make Housing First work? In this episode, I sit down with Deb DeSantis, President & CEO of the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), a national leader advancing supportive housing solutions across the country.

We talk about why Housing First succeeds when it’s done right, the dangers of “housing only” approaches, and how lived experience transforms policy and practice. We also dive into Returning Home — a groundbreaking program for people leaving prison that we featured in a recent documentary.

If you want to understand what’s working — and what needs to change — in the fight to end homelessness, this conversation is for you.
