Vicky B, talks about "runaround of services" she experienced while unhoused; spending entire day seeking support, sent to orgs that didn& #39;t meaningful solutions or listen to people receiving services.

Real need for "one stop shop"

Reginald @pthny notes frequently homeless services are "one size fits all" & don& #39;t actually meet the needs of many unhoused people. There is an incredible need for unhoused people to be listened to & part of developing solutions on #HowToSolveHomelessness

Couper Orona, @housethebay notes that in Bay Area people often get labeled "Service Resistant.
