How we created homelessness — and how to solve it | Jennifer Friedenbach | TEDxBaylands Park Youth

Homelessness Advocate Jennifer Friedenbach shares the history of the homelessness epidemic in the US. She gives the audience actionable insights and advice on what we can do to help address the crisis. Jennifer is currently the Executive Director of the Coalition on Homelessness, San Francisco. She has worked for the Coalition for 29 years, as Executive Director, as organizing director, substance abuse and mental health work group coordinator and fundraiser. Previous to coming to San Francisco, Jennifer was Director of the Hunger and Homeless Action Coalition of San Mateo County. Ms. Friedenbach has a long history of community organizing, and has worked on a range of poverty-related issues including welfare rights, housing, homeless prevention, health care, disability, and human and civil rights. During her tenure, she has achieved several significant victories alongside homeless people including most recently crafting and leading a winning campaign for Our City Our Home, Prop C which appeared on the November 2018 ballot, and has doubled San Francisco’s current efforts to solve homelessness resulting in thousands being housed and thousands more prevented from becoming homeless. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
