Missed last week’s episode of Unsheltered Conversations?
One of the biggest takeaways from Scott Larson’s conversation with Tom Grable, Division President of TriPointe Homes in Southern California, was this:
“We don’t have a housing crisis. We have a housing policy crisis.”
In this episode, Tom breaks down how barriers to building affect housing supply, affordability, and the ability for families to access stable homes.
For HomeAid, this conversation connects directly to our mission. Ending homelessness requires more than temporary solutions. It requires housing, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of the systems shaping what gets built.
