Yakima County Commissioner Kyle Curtis joins the show to do a deep dive into homelessness in the Columbia Basin and his work with the Yakima County Homeless Coalition. How does this issue differ locally from what we see in the big cities? How does Yakima County partner with local non-profit organizations, other counties, and the state government to combat homelessness? We also zero in on what we can learn by gathering as much information as possible on our homeless population and the challenges of compiling this data.
We also learn how Kyle found his way into politics at a young age and his experience being a younger elected official.
