In the primary part of this episode, we visit with Darian Lightfoot, who is leading the City of Olympia’s response to the homelessness crisis. She talks about the One Olympia plan, the city’s 2020 blueprint to respond to homelessness. We also get into housing preservation, renter protections and what we can do to open up housing capacity in every Olympia neighborhood. Before we get to Darian, though, I talk about Mayor Dick Abram and how we’ve been here before.

Actually, Olympia: What is the city even doing about homelessness?
