Basic Needs

It’s one thing to talk about poverty, it’s another thing to talk about how poverty shows up in the lives of individuals in our specific region.

In our inaugural episode, we explore the impact of poverty on local communities with guests Laura Escobar, VP of Safety Net Services at United Way Bay Area, and Tom Myers, Executive Director of Community Services Agency. We discuss the idea of basic needs, the barriers individuals face, and the compound effects of inadequate access to essentials like food and housing. We’ll also explore the collaborative efforts of United Way Bay Area and Community Services Agency in addressing these challenges.
