In this episode of News Too Real: Sucess Stories in California homelessness epidemic, producer host, Julia Dudley Najieb, reviews the appalling statistics that are also dismissal nationwide concerning the rate of homelessness in California.
As the crisis reveals that over 60,000 people in California do not have homes to go to at night, there is a sliver of good news coming out of Kern County city, Bakersfield, CA, who has achieved a rate of "functional zero" homelessness in its city; this information was revealed during an Ethnic Media Service (EMS) news briefing last week.

During this News Too Real episode, Dudley Najieb highlights two experts from California featured during the EMS news brief: Mary Scott, Client Services Director of The Open Door Network out of Bakersfield, Calif, explains who they achieved the almost "zero" homelessness rate in their city.
Thereafter, Matthew Lewis of YIMBY out of Bakersfield, Calif. gives a brief history of housing and racism that has led to today's homelessness crisis in California.
