Show Notes

On the first part of this show hosts Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Desiree Hadley are speaking with the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services, Luis Ulerio, the President and CEO of Newark Alliance, Evan Weiss, and the Data and Homeless Outreach Team Lead, Izaiah Hayes-Willoughby.

By developing housing for residents without address, Newark is not only tackling the issue of homelessness but it’s employing young people to build these homes by collaborating with the local organization, Youth Build.

Youth Build is a community-based pre-apprenticeship program that provides job training and educational opportunities for young people ages 16-24 who have experienced challenges with completing high school and simply require a different path to success. Youth Build joins the middle of the show to discuss their phenomenal program and how they’re training and employing our residents in construction and other trades.

The final group of guests include professors and students from the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Hillier School of Architecture and Design. Listen and share this episode with your friends and family.
