Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Michael Schaffer
The population of homeless families swelled in the District during recent years, pushing the city’s safety net mechanisms to their limits. D.C. government will soon be conducting a census of homeless youth to get more objective data about where young people fit into these trends. We connect with local officials involved with that effort and explore where young people fall in the homelessness crisis the city’s struggled with for the past several years.
Guests
- Kimberly Henderson Project Manager, D.C. Interagency Council on Homelessness
- Hilary Cairns Director of Youth Programs, D.C. Department of Human Services
