Tacoma City Councilmember John Hines and Erica Azcueta, Homelessness and Household Stability Manager for the City of Tacoma, join host Evelyn Lopez for a discussion about Tacoma’s housing and homelessness challenges. This is an excellent conversation about what the City is focused on and how it hopes to use any new funds that may become available.
However, while the City is actively working to build and support additional short-term and permanent housing options, that’s not keeping up with current needs; and if the eviction moratorium ends with thousands of renters pushed out of their leases the crisis will only worsen.
The City is working on housing solutions that will help support our houseless neighbors, and the efforts are significant. And yet, it is not nearly enough and cannot meet immediate, emergency needs. We need more solutions.
Please listen and share your thoughts. If you have feedback or ideas for other programs, please get in touch.
