Why City Council Is Looking Into the Office of Homeless Services
Philly’s Office of Homeless Services is facing scrutiny over a bunch of issues: confusion over where to send folks during recent cold and snowy weather, unpaid contracts, and overspending its budget by $15 million. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Rev. Jeremy Montgomery, President & CEO of Philly House, and Anna Orso, City Hall reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer. They dive into all of this, as well as why City Council is now getting involved.
