A practical way to help the homeless find work and safety

Title:
A practical way to help the homeless find work and safety
Speaker:
Richard J. Berry
Description:

When Richard J. Berry, the mayor of Albuquerque, saw a man on a street corner holding a cardboard sign that read "want a job," he decided to take him (and others in his situation) up on it. He and his staff started a citywide initiative to lift up the homeless by giving them day jobs and a place to sleep -- and the results were incredible. Find out how your city can replicate Albuquerque's model with this frank and optimistic talk.
