Is homelessness as bad as it’s ever been in Dallas?

Editors’ note: The Deep Side of Dallas will be hosted by Rudy Bush, assistant editor-in-chief, and Paul Corliss of the University of North Texas System. The show explores the past, present, and future of the city of Dallas, including its culture, politics, history, and development.

In this episode

Mandy Chapman Semple worked to fight homelessness in Houston and Dallas, and her results in Houston have made that city a national leader in reducing its homeless population. But in Dallas, where the homeless population is growing and tent cities are becoming more common, where do we start to fix the problem?
