Author Brian Goldstone on There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America

Brian Goldstone on the Rise of the Working Homeless

In this powerful WAHNcast conversation, Angie Truitt and Jean Dahlquist sit down with award-winning journalist and anthropologist Brian Goldstone, author of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.

Through the stories of five Atlanta families, Goldstone exposes a deeply troubling and increasingly common reality: the rise of the working homeless. These are parents with full-time jobs — cleaning airports, stocking shelves, driving for Uber, caring for children and elders — who still cannot secure stable housing.

They are not visible in encampments. They are not disconnected from work. They are living in cars, extended-stay hotels, doubled up with family: America’s hidden homeless.

In this conversation, Brian shares:

  • The moment he realized employment no longer protects families from homelessness

  • How precarious work, rising rents, and broken systems intersect

  • Why homelessness is not a charity issue but a justice issue

  • The emotional toll of witnessing families fight daily for stability

  • How we can move from compassion fatigue to targeted, productive anger

This is not a light conversation but it is a necessary one.

The paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us releases March 3 and will be available anywhere you buy books. Brian encourages readers to consider purchasing through Bookshop.org to support local independent bookstores.

This episode is essential listening for everyone.
