@ReportingHealth It was a real pleasure speaking to you terrific class of Fellows this week! Your program is inspiring. Thanks for having me!

We have arrived at the first session of our California Health Equity Fellowship! We are joined by @kevinchron who will talk to our #USC2025CAFellows about reporting on homelessness.

Kevin's book - THE LOST AND THE FOUND - is just tremendous. I'm so glad that the world is learning what Bay Area readers have known for a long time, about @KevinChron's skill, tenacity, and empathy. One of the most genuine & gifted journalists you'll ever meet. Proud to know him.

@jfagone Ah Jason, you make me blush. And I thank you 1,000 times for your encouragement and help on my book!

Episode 2257: @KevinChron on a San Francisco story of homelessness that will break your heart, by @ajkeen open.substack.com/pub/keenon/p/e… Award-winning reporter Kevin Fagan is one of San Francisco’s great treasures. In his much acclaimed new book, The Lost and Found, Fagan tells his his two-decade experience reporting about homelessness in San Francisco. He shares the stories of Tyson and Rita, two homeless individuals who he helped reconnect with their families. Tyson, despite having a supportive family, died of a fentanyl overdose, while Rita was rescued by her family and lived 20 more fulfilling years. Fagan, who experienced housing insecurity as a teenager, explains that homelessness stems from systemic poverty issues rather than personal failings. He notes that despite San Francisco's reputation as America’s “homeless central”, 70% of its homeless population lost their homes while already living there.
