Highlights include the difference between affordable and subsidized housing, the reasons behind the decrease in Veteran homelessness, the structural versus individual drivers of homelessness, and how SVDP is helping reduce homelessness.

This is a candid conversation about a tough topic.

In this episode, Louisville Metro Police Department Lieutenant Colonel Nick Owen shares his view on "What should the public know about police interactions with people experiencing homelessness?"

As Assistant Chief of Police with nearly 20 years on the force, Nick Owen talks about the importance of policing crime—not communities—and highlights the positive strides LMPD and local government have made in recent years. He talks about the services police should and should not provide for those experiencing homelessness, his thoughts on House Bill 5, how LMPD handles mistakes in the field, and the right for every citizen to feel safe.
