About
Growing up and living in major cities, including New York City, San Francisco and now Los Angeles, I have always been confronted by homelessness.
The trauma of not having a safe place to live, combined with the lack of humanity most people show towards the unhoused has always affected me deeply.
It’s a cause I want to help with.
I knew that the first step towards my being able to help in a serious way was to learn all I could about where we are currently. To do that, I enlisted my good friend Dr. Kari Selander.

When Dylan first asked me to embark on this learning journey with him, I wondered what we could accomplish as two outsiders. We aren’t homelessness experts. We aren’t practitioners working with the unhoused.
I soon realized that, in many ways, my more than decade of working on complex governance challenges globally has been preparing me for this. There is no one thing that will solve this crisis. Like my work in over a dozen countries tells us, we have to tackle the system.
