Housing Solutions Webinar

Join us for an insightful webinar with Gregg Colburn, author of Homelessness is a Housing Problem, moderated by New Beginnings Executive Director, Solomon Burchfield.

Register Here for an insightful webinar with Gregg Colburn, author of Homelessness is a Housing Problem, as we explore the root causes of homelessness and the pivotal role that housing plays in solving this complex issue. In this engaging session, Greg will break down the misconceptions surrounding homelessness and present evidence-based solutions that focus on the critical need for adequate housing.

Using accessible statistics, Colburn will challenge a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain why, for example, rates are so much higher in Seattle than in Chicago. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a more convincing explanation.
