Hopping online to promote our new guide! It builds on the skills outlined in our first one by adding knowledge & context collected by HBRC members. In this edition, I wrote about homelessness in different regions, why people don’t go to shelters & common arguments around camps.

So excited to share this guide I've been working on with a group of excellent homelessness beat reporters across the country.
Learn more about our new toolkit and our 2025 guide on ethics and working with homeless sources. 👇👇

Ever wondered how we report on homelessness compassionately and accurately @streetsensedc?
I worked with a group of reporters on a guide to help journalists navigate the political division and complexities around Housing First, encampments, and more.

ICYMI, we produced a 2025 guide about how to get and keep homeless sources and to approach ethical challenges on this complex beat.
You can check out both guides here: homelessnessreporting.org/gu…
