Drug addiction is, in fact, not the direct cause of homelessness, although this has become a common misconception in our society today.
What happens when homelessness, addiction, and incarceration collide? In the debut episode of 'Breaking the Red Tape', hosts Kennedy and Today tackle this complex web of social issues head-on. They challenge the common misconceptions that often link substance abuse directly to homelessness, revealing a much more intricate relationship. Problematic substance use doesn't just lead to homelessness; it erodes social and institutional connections, making people more vulnerable to life on the streets.
The episode also scrutinizes policies like the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, especially how recent changes could strip coverage from those who need it most. With a mix of expert analysis and heartfelt storytelling, this episode is both enlightening and motivating. Whether you're already engaged in social justice work or just starting to learn, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding and the tools to advocate for change. Tune in to get informed and become part of the solution.
