Welcome to "This Robin Hood Moment" with your hosts Crystal Cooper and Kevin Thompson. Stable housing is not just a roof over a child’s head—it’s a critical factor for healthy physical, emotional, and cognitive development. In this episode, with guest Christine Quinn, President & Chief Executive Officer of Win, we examine an aspect of homelessness in New York City that’s rarely discussed: family homelessness, wherein thousands of children are facing housing insecurity.
We explore how homelessness disrupts schooling, increases health risks, and affects behavioral outcomes in children, and why ensuring stable housing is essential to breaking the cycle of poverty. With Christine, we discuss one of the latest policy proposals from the New York State Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council, including expanding Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVP) to low-income families, and how these interventions can create a foundation for healthier, more stable lives.
Tune in for insightful discussions on shaping policies to uplift communities and #FightPoverty. Subscribe for more episodes wherever you listen to your podcasts.
