Homelessness in D.C. with Melody Smith

Saturday, August 30, 2025

Melody Smith joins Shannon Salmon-Haas and host Todd Marquardt to talk about homelessness in D.C. on this edition of Talk Law Radio!

•The central topic is President Trump’s executive order addressing homelessness in Washington, D.C., signed on July 24, 2025, and the broader legal, ethical, and social ramifications of such policies.
•We discuss dignity, relationship-building, and the Christian perspective of treating those experiencing homelessness as brothers and sisters deserving of empathy.
•Shannon shares observations from San Antonio, describing the visible increase in encampments and the challenges faced by business owners and community members.
•Local organizations like THRU Project are highlighted for their work in supporting foster youth at risk of homelessness, with statistics showing a high percentage of homeless adults having a history in the foster system. Learn more at https://www.thruproject.org/

The mission of Talk Law Radio is to help you discover your legal issue blind spots by listening to me talk about the law on the radio. The state bar of Texas is the state agency that governs attorney law licenses. The State Bar wants attorneys to inform the public about the law but does not want us to attempt to solve your individual legal problems upon the basis of general information. Instead, contact an attorney like Todd A. Marquardt at Marquardt Law Firm, P.C. to discuss your specific facts and circumstances of your unique situation.
