The Housing First approach to homelessness

Lloyd Pendleton began his career as Director of Utah’s Homeless Task Force in 2006 with the goal of functionally eliminating the state’s chronic homelessness problem within 10 years. In his 2016 TEDMED Talk, Lloyd shares the inspiring account of how Utah's Housing First program reduced the number of chronically homeless from 1,932 to 168 in just 10 years.
