As New York continues to grapple with homelessness, housing instability and the urgent need for more effective pathways to permanent housing, my guest is longtime homeless advocate Mary Brosnahan, who is the new Chief Executive Officer of Providence House, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that has spent more than 45 years providing trauma-informed, community-centered services to women, families, and people returning from incarceration. We talk about the undercount of people living with homelessness, negative perceptions and ineffective policies surrounding homelessness, and what New York could do to help more people move from homelessness and housing instability toward lasting stability.

But for others, fibroids can be extremely painful with symptoms that can change daily life. My guest is Dr. Yan Katsnelson, Founder of USA Fibroid Centers and Fibroid Fighters, a public welfare organization to advance the cause of women’s health and the safe and effective treatment of uterine fibroids.
