À propos de cet audio

 People aged 50 and older have grown from about 10 percent of the homeless population to half. That's according to the most recent federal data.

The increase is being driven by a number of factors including housing affordability and fixed incomes. It comes as social safety net programs like Medicaid are on the chopping block and fears grow over the future of Social Security under the Trump Administration.

We talk about the reasons behind the dramatic increase in homelessness among seniors and how can they be protected.
