Untangling Unsheltered Encampments: Home Is Where the Help Lies

Joe Selvaggi discusses the challenges posed by homeless encampments, like Boston's Mass and Cass, with Dr. Judge Glock, the director of research at the Manhattan Institute. They also explore policy alternatives aimed at addressing the needs of both the community and the unsheltered individuals. Guest: Dr. Judge Glock is the director of research and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, as well as a contributing editor at City Journal. Previously, he held the position of senior director of policy and research at the Cicero Institute, a nonpartisan think tank based in Austin, and served as a visiting professor of economics at West Virginia University. His writing primarily delves into the intersection of economics, finance, and housing, with insights drawn from his extensive work in economic history. Dr. Glock's work has garnered attention in various prominent publications, including National Affairs, Tax Notes, the Journal of American History, NPR, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, among others. He is also the author of the book "The Dead Pledge: The Origins of the Mortgage Market and Federal Bailouts, 1913-1939," which was published in 2021 by Columbia University Press.
