In Part 2, we continue our discussion of women experiencing homelessness with special guest, Staci Alziebler-Perkins, the Executive Director of Gathering for Women-Monterey, a day shelter that services 400 women annually, many of whom are over 60-years-old and who are locals. 80% of those who filed for unemployment at the height of the pandemic in 2020 were women. We learn the stories of these resilient women who are teachers, mothers, caregivers, scientists who had their lives changed in an instant.
