“All those people would have still been in the hospital in 1985”

For this piece on the need for more medical respite shelters for the homeless and why it’s not a priority, I spoke with two of the most prominent names in homeless healthcare: Dr. James O’Connell, the founder of the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) who established the nation’s first medical respite program in 1985, and Dr. John McAdam, one of the first physicians to work in the Department of Community Medicine at St. Vincent’s Hospital, a groundbreaking health care program for homeless shelters and SROs that has since become the standard for homeless health care.

The Homeless Opioid Epidemic

The opioid epidemic has abated somewhat among the housed population, but not among the homeless. Why? Because while the public health response for the housed population includes counseling and treatment, the strategy for the homeless has focused on one thing: reversing overdoses.

Abolish the Cash Bail System

Why the cash bail system effectively criminalizes poverty, and why it needs to be abandoned once and for all.

The Long Climb Out of Homelessness

Even in a city with a robust social safety net like New York, it is shockingly easy to fall into homelessness—and it can be incredibly difficult to climb back out.

Actually, the VA is Good

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) is often used as an example of why a single-payer healthcare system wouldn’t work in America. Not only is this argument morally wrong, it’s also factually incorrect.

The “Critical Race Theory” Debate is a Lie

The Republican Party’s base is dwindling, its most ardent members are getting older, and there simply isn’t enough support from younger generations to replace those votes. The critical race theory debate is just the latest in a long line of ginned-up controversies intended to keep people distracted with meaningless nonsense so the GOP can quietly continue rigging the system in their favor without anyone noticing.
