What is being done to address Phoenix's homeless and housing crisis?

On March 28th, a Maricopa county Superior Court judge, ordered the
city of Phoenix to clear out a large homeless camp. This is an area
of tents, tarps, sleeping bags and other makeshift housing that
lies within view of the state capital. The city hasn't made clear
whether it intends to carry out that order or appeal it. What is
clear is that Phoenix, and the greater Valley, have an enormous
homelessness problem. It's only been exacerbated by rising rents
and lack of affordable housing. In this episode of The Gaggle,
hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl sit down with The Republic's
housing team Catherine Reagor and Juliette Rihl to examine the how
and why behind the Valley's housing and homelessness crisis. Learn
