What’s Been Said About Deconstructing Homelessness
Here’s what the attendees have said:
“I was a little intimidated at first, thinking I may not be able to keep up with the intellectual language, this was not an issue. I felt a part of the session."
“This is something unique and ground breaking. It’s a blend of perspectives, of someone that’s experienced homelessness, become a phenomenal researcher and teacher, and is using his experiences and skills to dissect the structures that perpetuate homelessness.”
“The more Matt deconstructs homelessness through this course, the more it feels like I can see the wool lifting from my eyes. The evidence has been right there from the start. Matt has been able to pull together publicly available information to inform contemporary knowledge of homelessness & how the current system is broken.”
“It was refreshing to see and hear an honest, critical analysis of Housing Policy that didn't adhere to the usual narrative.”
“Each week is a continual process, opening up a deeper understanding that the system isn't just broken. The problem isn't about fixing a broken system, the system has never been right for it to break.”
