A Different Take on Homelessness: Supply and DemandGregg Colburn, co-chair, UW Homelessness Initiative: "Homelessness is a Housing Problem:" Gregg and his colleague explore the statistics behind the major factors which contribute to long-term homelessness. Substantial variations in rates of homelessness apparent in cities across the United States assumed to be mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility do not explain why rates are so much higher in Seattle than in Chicago. Conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing offer a more convincing explanation. Hear from an expert how homelessness may be an inner-city "infrastructure problem". Contrary to expectations, rates of homelessness tend to be lower where poverty rates are higher. How is homelessness tied to the way in which housing supplies respond to increases in demand?
Gregg Colburn is an assistant professor of real estate at the UW College of the Built Environments.

Some states created rules to help their big programs: many did not. Some athletes may earn six-figure incomes; many will not. The century-long scam of amateurism in big-time athletics is over. Hear Art interpret what these changes mean both for the athletes and the big business of major college sports.

Once teeming with bountiful salmon and fertile plains, Seattle’s Duwamish River drew both Native peoples and settlers to its shores over centuries for trading, transport, and sustenance. Unfortunately, the very utility of the river was its undoing, as decades of dumping led to the river being declared a Superfund cleanup site. Much of Washington’s history has been told through the perspective of its colonizers, obscuring and mythologizing the changes to these lands that have long been occupied by Native peoples. Through the story of the river, author BJ Cummings explores previously unrecorded Native and immigrant histories, and exposes settler falsehoods about the founding of the state. The river’s story is a call to action to align future decisions with values of collaboration, respect, and justice.
BJ Cummings (she/her) founded the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition and manages community engagement for the University of Washington’s Superfund Research Program. She is the author of The River That Made Seattle: A Natural and Human History of the Duwamish, and she was awarded the River Network’s national River Hero award for her work leading community-based clean-up and restoration of the Duwamish River. Cummings lives in Seattle.
