Homelessness in La Crosse with Salvation Army’s Michael Quam

Michael Quam, the development director for the Salvation Army of La Crosse County, joined to discuss homelessness in the area, how the shelter has changed over the past few years and where they fit in with the Pathways Home plan.

Didn’t take long to get into the homeless situation (3:50), including the Salvation Army being at capacity, how many people it has to turn away and how many success stories it has had.

We also discussed if a lack of housing or affordable housing is the No. 1 reason for homelessness a couple of different times, plus future plans for the Salvation Army with possible expansion and how they fit into the city-county’s Pathways Home plan to essentially end homelessness by 2029.
