    Seniors Are The Fastest-Growing Group Experiencing Homelessness. Why?
    Jun 11 2025
    People aged 50 and older have grown from about 10 percent of the homeless population to half. That's according to the most recent federal data.

    The increase is being driven by a number of factors including housing affordability and fixed incomes. It comes as social safety net programs like Medicaid are on the chopping block and fears grow over the future of Social Security under the Trump Administration.

    We talk about the reasons behind the dramatic increase in homelessness among seniors and how can they be protected.

    If You Can Keep It: Rehiring The Federal Government
    Jun 9 2025
    After slashing the federal workforce by tens of thousands earlier this year, the Trump administration is looking to fill those empty positions again.
