The upside is that if it’s a slow-moving target, it means we still have time to catch those people before they fall. So if we expect that homelessness is going to go up a lot in 2022 and 2023, now is the time to put in place a better safety net.
In a new report with the Economic Roundtable, titled Locked Out - Unemployment and Homelessness in the Covid Economy, we use data from the 2008 Great Recession to estimate the linkage between job loss and homelessness.

Two years have passed since Donald Trump made his famous campaign promise in disaffected regions across the country: “We are going to start winning again!” For many voters who felt that they had lost ground in recent decades, the candidate argued, a vote for him would be rewarded with renewed prosperity and prominence. So, how have Trump voters fared economically, compared with Hillary Clinton voters?

There are two reasons to read history. One is to get lost in it, and the other is to learn from it. I've always been more interested in the latter. When economists started published papers on "redlining" a few years ago, it didn't seem like they were giving us that choice. This was history that we were still lost in, whether we read about it or not. So, I wrote a book to understand why.
