653,104Americans experienced homelessness last year 653,104. We are in the middle of a historic housing crisis and unfortunately, families with young children are one of the groups most likely to become unhoused. It makes a grim kind of sense. Starting a family is one of the most vulnerable moments in your life. It's expensive, it's emotionally challenging, and it can easily Pitch you into housing insecurity. And once you're unhoused, it's really difficult to get back on your feet. Being a new parent is hard, and being unhoused is hard. Imagine dealing with both at the same time. It's a classic catch 22. You need a really solid job to pay for housing and childcare. But if you don't have housing and childcare, how are you supposed to find the time and energy to get a solid job? I'm Gloria Rivera, and this is no One Is Coming to Save Us, a podcast about the child care crisis in America. This week, we're looking at the nearly impossible realities that too many young families face when they are unhoused. And first, we're checking in with someone fighting against the epidemic of family homelessness in Boston, Massachusetts. Hello there.
- [04:09]
Kate Berand
Hi, Gloria. How are you?
- [04:10]
Gloria Rivera
I am well, thanks. How are you? Kate, it's so nice to see you.
- [04:14]
Kate Berand
Nice to see you as well.
- [04:16]
Gloria Rivera
Kate Berand is the president and CEO of Horizons for Homeless Children. Founded in 1988, they provide quality childcare and education to 230 unhoused children in the Boston area. They also have a network of volunteer run play spaces at housing shelters across the state. Kate's been involved with Horizons for decades, so she knows a lot about how and why families become unhoused. Can you speak a little bit about why you think this country, with over 650,000Americans experiencing homelessness last year, how did we get here?
- [04:57]
Kate Berand
I think there's a lot in underlying economics that tell that story. And what I can tell you is when I first was on the board of Horizons, domestic violence was the leading driver.
- [05:08]
Gloria Rivera
Right.
- [05:09]
Kate Berand
And what we've seen over the course of the last 30 years is that prices have risen dramatically in terms of affordable housing and all, you know, what you pay for bread and butter and everything else. But you know what? Wages in America for most workers have stayed very largely flat. And so in a city like Boston, we kind of have a perfect storm for family homelessness. So we have a $15 minimum wage, and that's what most families in poverty are living at, and a $45 living wage. So right there, you've got a math problem, Right? I would have to have, you know, two and a half full time jobs at minimum wage to have a living wage. We are the third most expensive rental market in the country. 28% of the children in Boston are living in poverty, and we have a deficit of affordable housing. Those are the economics that are driving family homelessness.
- [06:10]
Gloria Rivera
Now, we know that it's also very hard for young parents who experience homelessness. One of the biggest risk factors for homelessness is having a child.
- [06:22]
Kate Berand
Yes.
- [06:22]
Gloria Rivera
Can you walk me through that? Because I stopped at that and I thought, okay, wait, how? You know, you see the word risk and you see the phrase having kids and it just. I guess it's just not something I want to read or accept. But can you explain it to me?
- [06:39]
Kate Berand
I can explain a little. And I can also tell you that the people in this country, and this is in the New York Times, most likely to be evicted, are children are babies and toddlers with a parent. And what I can tell you is I did a little bit of research on this over the course of time. And first of all, landlords, by and large, not big fans of children. Children are noisy, children are messy, Children can be hard on apartments. Right. They draw on walls. I mean, they're children. Right. What I can also tell you is that when a parent has a child, it introduces a whole set of expenses that they may not have really been prepared for. Children obviously need clothes and they need food and they need medical care. You probably thought having a child was just a beautiful thing, but then there come the consequences of. It's very hard to find childcare in Massachusetts and it's extremely expensive. But it's a difficult equation for a young family with young children.
- [07:42]
Gloria Rivera
So tell me who the average client is for Horizon. What does it look like when you look around at those 200 plus kids and who are you seeing?
- [07:52]
Kate Berand
So, generally speaking, our parents are often single moms in their late 20s. They probably have an income of between 9 and $11,000.
- [08:05]
Gloria Rivera
Wow, I did not think you were going to cite numbers that low.
- [08:09]
Kate Berand
Yeah, that's the average. And not only that, but what we see is oftentimes they have no social support system, so they can be estranged from their families or they can have been forced to move away from where their family unit or social supports are because they needed shelter and shelter happened to be somewhere else. They have no support system and they have no savings. So they're literally living on the edge. It just introduces a highly toxic level of stress into their environment. And one of the things that I would love to change in this country is we keep blaming the poor for being poor. And it is not their fault. It is the fault of systemic issues that we have. Some of it is racism, some of it is classism. I mean, we are the problem. The poor are not the problem. We have many stories of beautiful, capable, resilient human beings with nothing but the best intentions for their children trapped in this, what I would call fringe existence.
- [09:23]
Gloria Rivera
And making it out of that fringe existence takes a lot of work. That's why Horizons opened a new state of the art Childcare center in 2021. One that would serve all the needs of their students and their families. Their program is really impressive. In fact, it's in the top 5% of programs statewide.
- [09:46]
Kate Berand
We have an early childhood program here that serves 230 children. So imagine the most state of the art child care facility you might have ever seen and then add a little bit, because we only built it three years ago. And we truly built it to be an example of the best possible state of the art solution for early childhood education. And it's also built with the intent to lift families up who are experiencing homelessness. So we have 22 classrooms and 230 children who come here every day, all year long to get services and to learn. We have an extraordinary literacy program and library. We've got seven different languages and 3,000 books in the library. We want them, as we say, school ready and ready to truly be exceptional. And that's what our program is designed to do. So that's what we do in our early education program. But we have also any child who comes here, their parent gets a coach, and that coach works with the parent who is so important also to the child's development. Right. And growth. We work with a parent on how can we help you achieve your dreams and get you socially and emotionally settled. And also on a path towards economic sustainability.
- [11:07]
Gloria Rivera
When they were designing the early learning center, Horizons realized that when folks are trapped in deep poverty, they need to access a lot of social services. And much of the time that means parents have to get on the bus to get around all day trying to make it to each office and appointment on time to get the resources they need. So Horizons decided we're going to have all those resources in one place. Their early learning center has a medical clinic. It has English classes. It has people who can help you find a job. It is a one stop shop. And that makes a huge difference for families on their way to housing stability.
- [11:50]
Kate Berand
It's about giving people back their humanity. I mean, we should be responding to them in a way that is gracious and dignified. They're people. And no one picks to be homeless. No one picks to lose their housing and not be able to provide for their child. It's the last thing on earth they'd ever want to do.
- [12:13]
Gloria Rivera
Kate, I have to tell you, it's really lovely to hear you speak about treating people with dignity and grace and where you see the real fundamental problem, you know, living, which is not in these people, but in the system that they are forced to live in. So thank you so much for the work that you do and your time with us today.
- [12:35]
Kate Berand
Thank you.
- [12:36]
Gloria Rivera
Organizations like Horizons for Homeless Children work because they recognize that people experiencing homelessness are not the problem. The rising costs of housing and child care, along with decades of stagnant wages are the problem. These are social issues we're talking about, and they need social solutions. We are going to take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to head across the country from Boston to San Francisco and talk to a woman who just made it out of homelessness herself with a newborn baby in tow.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Hey, Julia, Louis Dreyfus here. If you listen to me on my Wiser Than Me podcast, you probably already know that I'm an investor and an evangelist for the Mill Food Recycler. There are a lot of reasons to love mill, but for me, it's all about the impact. Keeping food out of the garbage is one of the most powerful things we can do to help the planet every single day. We're talking banana peels, carrot tops, old takeout. When that stuff heads to the landfill, it becomes a huge driver of climate change. If you already compost, great. But of course, there's the smell, the flies, the running to the curb every day with a little leaking compost bag made of cornstarch. That's where mill comes in. It makes keeping food out of the trash as easy as dropping it in. It can handle nearly anything from a turkey carcass to like 20 avocado pits. It works automatically while you sleep. You can keep filling it for weeks and it never ever smells. Mill makes dry, nutrient rich grounds that you can use in your garden, add to your compost feed to your chickens or mill can get them back to a small farm for you. But you kind of have to live with mill to really get it. And that's why they offer a risk free trial. Go to mill.com wiser for an exclusive offer.

Caitlin Liversidge is a new mother living in San Francisco. And last summer, she went through one of the most difficult experiences I can imagine. Finding out she was pregnant right before losing her housing.
- [15:20]
Caitlin Liversidge
Homelessness. Doesn't always look like the person that's dirty and on Dr. Or, you know, it's me right now sitting here with my baby.
- [15:27]
Gloria Rivera
Oh, and before I forget, we had another very special guest join us. Caitlin's two and a half month old, Lola.
- [15:35]
Caitlin Liversidge
Hi, baby.
- [15:37]
Gloria Rivera
Hi. Hi. Oh, that was a good smile. Thank you for that.
- [15:46]
Caitlin Liversidge
Yeah, big girl.
- [15:48]
Gloria Rivera
Thank you, baby girl. Oh, my God.
- [15:50]
Caitlin Liversidge
Okay.
- [15:50]
Gloria Rivera
Wow.
- [15:50]
Caitlin Liversidge
I did not know I was gonna.
- [15:51]
Gloria Rivera
Have that stronger reaction to see.
- [15:53]
Caitlin Liversidge
She's pretty precious.
- [15:55]
Gloria Rivera
Yes, she is.
- [15:56]
Caitlin Liversidge
She just wants to see everything. She wants to look at everybody and. Yeah, she's just. She's a really sweet girl.
- [16:03]
Gloria Rivera
Caitlin's originally from Australia. She came to the states in her 20s, lured here by the music and fashion scenes in New York. She made some friends from California and ended up moving to San Francisco. Expensive. But up until the last few years, Caitlin was doing pretty well for herself.
- [16:21]
Caitlin Liversidge
You know, I was living just outside of, like, the Haight Ashbury, and, you know, I had a good job. I was a manager for, like, a health food company.
- [16:29]
Gloria Rivera
But during the pandemic, things took a turn for the worse.
- [16:33]
Caitlin Liversidge
My relationship was just on and off. And then I fell into a lot of, like, heavy drinking patterns. And it just kind of like, all unraveled, like, from there. I couldn't keep my head above water. And then also I got hit in the end of 2022, I got hit by a car and I broke my arm really badly. And that was the pinnacle, the bad. I couldn't work because I was in hospitality, you know, and then I didn't have health insurance. And it was just. That was the pinnacle of, like, oh, fuck, this is bad.
- [17:04]
Gloria Rivera
And just as everything was falling apart, Caitlin started noticing changes in her body. Her breasts were tender. She felt nauseous around certain smells. Oh, God. She took a pregnancy test. It was positive. And she had to tell the guy she was seeing who she'd recently moved in with. At first, he seemed excited, but that didn't last.
- [17:26]
Caitlin Liversidge
Basically, like, to cut a long story short, is that, like, he started to question that if it was his, you know, and I'm living with the man, but apparently it's not his.
- [17:36]
Gloria Rivera
Oh, my God. And then all of a sudden, you're on the street. What happened there?
- [17:40]
Caitlin Liversidge
So he also told me that it was transferring to Vegas. I Don't want to be with you. Like, basically threw like the house keys in my face and that was it. And just like I packed up his stuff and left. And after that I have the landlords coming over and banging on the door and stuff.
- [17:58]
Gloria Rivera
Okay.
- [17:59]
Caitlin Liversidge
And he told me that he's five months behind in the rent.
- [18:02]
Gloria Rivera
Oh, great, thank you.
- [18:04]
Caitlin Liversidge
And I have a bit of money saved up, but, you know, that was like, not that. Not that much. That's going to cover that five months of rent. Yeah, yeah. And then I didn't have enough money to continue paying the rent and a lot of my friends have moved away, some have started families and Too expensive to raise a family in San Francisco. So, yeah, basically I kind of like exhausted people that I could stay with.
- [18:31]
Gloria Rivera
Okay, so what did that look like to be homeless? I mean, where were you charging your phone? What did your day to day routine look like?
- [18:38]
Caitlin Liversidge
I don't know. I've had nights. I've had multiple nights where I had to sleep, like on the street, like in a park or something like that. And I mean, I didn't have that many possessions. I had to charge my phone at the Whole Foods. And you'd sleep clutching my things, the little things that I had.
- [18:58]
Gloria Rivera
I'm imagining you on the street and you need prenatal care. That's not a small thing. How did you get that?
- [19:07]
Caitlin Liversidge
But basically I've researched like, you know, women's shelters and like prenatal care, like stuff like that. And then I saw hpp, which is Homeless Prenatal Program.
- [19:18]
Gloria Rivera
Homeless Prenatal Program runs the transitional housing site where Caitlin was living during this interview. That program is called Jelani House. More on them later.
- [19:28]
Caitlin Liversidge
I just called and called. And then I remember distinctly it was really warm day here was San Francisco, so It was like 80 degrees. And I was sitting downtown somewhere where I could get WI fi on my phone because, you know, I couldn't pay my phone bills, so I had to just rely on WI Fi. So I was missing calls, you know, from. From possible places or shelters. And I got a phone call because I was in WI Fi. She's like, I'm calling from homeless prenatal program. And I told her my situation and I was out in a big kind of courtyard, like near where the like Twitter building is. And people were on their lunch break and they're like, you know, like people with really high paying job, like techies, the people that, you know, kind of run San Francisco right now. And I'm on this phone call and I'm emotional And I'm like. And I was so embarrassed because everyone could hear my conversation, but I had to be somewhere where I could have wi. Fi.
- [20:20]
Gloria Rivera
Caitlyn had a shot at a place to live while she was pregnant, giving birth, and raising her baby. Only one problem. She had to make it to an office across town in the next two hours, and she didn't have a car.
- [20:34]
Caitlin Liversidge
And then it just so happened. And again, I feel like the world works in, we say mysterious ways, but the lady that was next to me, she was like. And I could see her, like, looking at me during the conversation, and I was like, you know, trying to not make eye contact after the phone call. Like, she said, like, I'm really, you know, it wasn't really eavesdropping, but I got snippets of their conversation. And I just want to let you know that I work for, like, the public health system. And I'm like, so sorry about to hear about your situation. And she was like, I can know a lot of resources that can help you. And she was like, I heard you say Jelan how? She's like, that's a really great place for, you know, for pregnant women. And, like, she offered to pay for my Uber. And she gave me her, like, number and, like, a list of resources for, like, prenatal care and stuff. And that's how I got on.
- [21:17]
Gloria Rivera
Incredible. Someone sitting next to you and says, wait a minute, I work in public health, right? And we need to get you over to the access point, right?
- [21:27]
Caitlin Liversidge
And I was like, I can't thank you enough. And she was like, no, no, no. She's like, it's okay. She was like, I'm so sorry. She's like, I have two kids, and I did raised the second one by myself. She's like, I understand it's difficult.
- [21:39]
Gloria Rivera
With the help of this good Samaritan, Caitlin made it to where she needed to go. And when she got there, sure enough, there was a room waiting for her at Jelani House. More on that after the break.

Wherever you get your podcasts, tell me what it was like to walk through the doors of Jelani House knowing you had a safe place to be, a bed waiting for you. That moment. It was going to be okay.
- [23:31]
Caitlin Liversidge
I just remember, you know, coming in and it's a lovely facility. It's super clean. It's really big, open spaces. There's a nice backyard. It's bright. It's it, you know, it is a really nice welcoming space.
- [23:45]
Gloria Rivera
Like I mentioned earlier, Jelani House is a transitional housing complex for unhoused pregnant people. It's run by a San Francisco nonprofit called Homeless Prenatal Program. Jelani reminds me a lot of the programs at Horizons for homeless children in Boston, but more focused on the specific challenges of being unhoused and pregnant or with a newborn. They offer their clients a safe place to stay for up to two years, help them get pre and postnatal care, and work with them to make sure they and their babies find permanent housing. They have quarterly baby showers, parenting classes, and even baby photo shoots.
- [24:27]
Caitlin Liversidge
And opening that door to my tiny little bedroom, which I've made it very much our little home for now. And I sat on that bed and I cried. I cried like I hadn't cried in a long time. And it was like, it's nice. They give you like a robe, they give you slippers, they give you, like, toiletries. That shower was the best shower of my life. You know, that sleep was probably the best sleep of my life. And like, it was just, I think I like, kissed the pillow or, you know, something, you know, super, like, super corny.
- [24:57]
Gloria Rivera
What were those tears about? Do you think, now that you've had time to think back about that first, that first hour alone in your room?
- [25:06]
Caitlin Liversidge
I think just, yeah, just relief, you know, just a really sense of relief and just of being somewhere safe and not feeling like, yeah, I have to, you know, watch my back all the time and clutch my purse and Knowing that I'm going to be, like, in a place where I can cook meals and make a nice smoothie for me and her and, like, and get my prenatal vitamins and going to groups with other mothers and learning about, you know, not just about nutrition, about labor, about, you know, all those things. I mean, I've never. Never. Of course, I've never been in that position. You know, just making sure and just like, just always knowing that I can come back to somewhere safe and that I have support.
- [25:48]
Gloria Rivera
All that support meant that when Lola was ready to be born, Caitlin was ready, too. And two and a half months later, things keep getting better. Is she in your lap?
- [25:59]
Caitlin Liversidge
Yeah. She can't see her baby.
- [26:01]
Gloria Rivera
No, but I can see the way you're looking at her, which is maybe if the camera. Oh, she just has those closed eyes. She's just so at peace. And Caitlin, I have to say, like, at times this story has been harrowing, but you strike me as someone who's at peace, too. What does the future hold for you?
- [26:17]
Caitlin Liversidge
Well, we. We actually got last month. He's smiling. What's happening?
- [26:23]
Gloria Rivera
Oh, she's waiting for the good news. She's happy about whatever it is you're going to tell me.
- [26:27]
Caitlin Liversidge
Oh, yeah. Well, so last month I actually got my voucher and my subsidy for housing. So I will be. I've been looking at apartments, and I will probably be out of here in a month and we'll have our own apartment.
- [26:40]
Gloria Rivera
Isn't that amazing? One of the big focuses at Jelani House is helping their residents find permanent housing. It's only a matter of time before Caitlin and Lola have a new home, hopefully one they can stay in for a long, long time. You know, Lola is sleeping so peacefully. And you strike me as someone who's at peace as well. But maybe what I should say is, and this, as I think about it, seems more apt. You strike me as someone who has found that peace is out there in some capacity, whether it's housing or, you know, eventually a job and your own place. That there. There is that same moment where you cried on your bed when you first got to Jean Lyos. There's peace out there for you.
- [27:27]
Caitlin Liversidge
Yeah, most definitely. And I think, like, obviously she's, you know, the biggest part of that. She saved me. You know, she saved me. And I'm sorry. I just, like. I just, you know, I just look at her and I'm just, like. I just. I can do everything I can in my power to, like, to make sure she's okay. And that she'll be loved. And, you know, again, like, this is only temporary, you know, And I know that we'll get the apartment, I'll go back to work. And she's given me, like, a whole different reason and a whole different perspective. And I feel like in the past, more I've been more like, I'll say yes to things or let kind of people push me over. And now I'm just like, no, I am more selfish now. I'm selfish for her.
- [28:15]
Gloria Rivera
I think another word for that is purpose.
- [28:17]
Caitlin Liversidge
Purpose. Right. And, you know, she is. She's my. She's my purpose. She's my everything. And, you know, waking up to her, like, is the best thing. Her smile. And she's just like, I just try and, you know, even though there's been so much pain and chaos and, and stuff in my life and in my life with her inside me and stuff, like, I don't want my baby to feel that. I'm just. It's just so blessed to be her mom.
- [28:47]
Gloria Rivera
If we can build the right kind of safety net, stories like Caitlin's can have happy endings. I'm very grateful that organizations like Horizons for homeless children in Boston and homeless prenatal programs Jelani House in San Francisco are doing such amazing work. But they really shouldn't have to. We're the richest country in the world, and we have pregnant people and children living on the street. How absolutely insane is that? How shameful. But if there's a glimmer of hope here, it's that we do know how to solve the problem, or at least make it a lot easier for people going through it. We just need to take programs that work like the two we've talked about today and expand them until they reach folks all across the country. Let's make it happen.
