From left: Liam McDermott ’26, Simon Cohen ’26, Aela Shaw ’26 and Isaac Ensel ’26 investigate government and non-profit responses to homelessness while maintaining a narrative emphasis on the perspective of one unhoused individual in Ithaca. They also speak to center-left and progressive members of Ithaca’s Common Council and individuals on the front lines of the non-profit effort to help the unhoused in Ithaca to better understand where the government is falling short and where it is succeeding, and where non-profits have to fill the gaps.
