Milwaukee County Housing Administrator Jim Mathy joined in studio to talk about homelessness, La Crosse’s progress, and the next steps in the city’s Pathways Home plan.

Mathy, a La Crosse native, spent two days meeting with community leaders about Pathways Home and took part in an event Tuesday where the documentary Beyond the Bridge was shown, followed by a panel of homeless and housing experts in a Q&A with the audience.

Mathy discusses the film and how Milwaukee County is featured as a success story in reducing homelessness.

La Crosse has a similar plan, and we talk about whether that approach can work here versus in a much larger city like Milwaukee — where La Crosse’s homeless population is far greater and resources less abundant.

Mathy also outlines the current step La Crosse is focused on — expanding access to housing, getting the business community to help fund the plan, and building (or rebuilding) the public’s trust in Pathways Home.
