About this listen
Back to basics. Back to what we know works. That is my main takeaway from my interview with social worker Charlotte Tucker Sanders. I've had the privilege to work with her, first at Neighborcare's 45th Street Homeless Youth Clinic and then when I led the UW's Doorway Project. She said, "I feel like if we were to really think about this world which seems to be driven by money, and the costs and benefits. And if we were to really look at our system and not have it based on that (...) That if we keep people healthy, in the long run, we wouldn't be spending so much money on other issues related to unhealthy people. If we were to feed people, if we were to give people their basic needs, if we made sure that everyone had enough to live on, we probably wouldn't be so consumed with issues of violence, issues of homelessness (...) So I guess that would be my dream, that we would eventually recognize that meeting basic human needs, basic needs, would be good for everyone."
