In 2023, more than 650,000 people in America were identified as being without permanent shelters, and that’s a record number, the most since counts were started in 2007, and a 12 percent increase over 2022.

Oregon has double what would be the national average of people without a permanent place to call home.

In this episode, Tawnya Layne explores why so many are homeless, and possible short-term and long-term solutions, in her home state of Oregon.
