The Man Who Reduced Homelessness In Utah by 91%.
The Man Who Reduced Homelessness In Utah by 91%.
Lloyd Pendleton talks at TEDMed about his project in Salt Lake City, capital of Utah, which helped almost 2000 homeless to re-construct their life again.
One of the crucial issue with modern society is the "Limited understanding of homelessness, says Pendleton. His view on homelessness changed in 2003 after a conference on the same topic. Previously, he supported the classic speculative ideas that homelessness is a choice, a philosophy of living life. Pendleton noticed in Utah a "underlying feeling and desire, and willingness to collaborate to serve the neighbors, including those who were homeless", for this reason he was sure that if a way to solve homeless issue existed, he would have be able to find it in Salt Lake City.
How did he do?
Pendleton collaborated with "an affordable housing organization" who took Pendleton's concern at heart and was willing to build the first 100 unit of house for homeless. The problem was how to deal with so many chronicle homeless situated in one place.
Well, Pendleton used a pilot. The test viewed 17 chronicle homeless and settled them in already existing inhabited houses. "22 months later, all 17 were still housed, sleeping in their bed sober".
