Скачать или смотреть Why Homeless Services Fail Without Choice

What if we stopped forcing people into “help” they didn’t ask for and started offering real choices instead?

In this episode, we unpack the power of choice in homelessness services. From shelters to housing, coercion isn’t care, and compliance doesn’t equal connection. Backed by research, field examples, and a few well-placed zingers, we challenge outdated myths like “people need to hit rock bottom” or “we know what’s best for them.”

You’ll meet Reggie (and his dog), explore the science behind autonomy and engagement, and find out why systems built on consent (not control) actually work better.

Whether you work in housing, outreach, policy, or just care about getting this right: this episode is your antidote to saviour syndrome disguised as support.

Because dignity heals. Choice changes outcomes. And compassion without consent? That’s just control in costume.
