Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
A man came into her office in a suit. Carrie Masters assumed he was a volunteer. He'd been sleeping on a pool lounge chair for nine months, showering at a gym in the morning, job hunting during the day. No address.
Nobody counts that man.
Carrie is the CEO of The Worker. She's also an Arizona native who spent 14 years of her childhood homeless, then 20 years in commercial real estate — receptionist to COO and partner. She's been on all sides of this issue. We talked about the gap between subsidized housing and market rent, why she thinks homelessness often creates addiction rather than the reverse, and her sister, who won't take a raise because it would cost her kids' medical coverage.
Some numbers: about 9,700 people counted homeless in Maricopa County in January, 53% sheltered. Families up 13% in a year. Arizona is short roughly 56,000 homes. It takes about $87,000 a year to afford the average-priced home here, and about 42% of households clear that.
