Dallas has seen a drop in homelessness, thanks to a new strategy focused on moving people from encampments into long-term housing. KERA News journalists Christopher Connelly and Yfat Yossifor spent almost a year reporting on a homeless encampment under an East Dallas overpass as it was closed and its residents moved into long-term housing. They’ve shared what they discovered in a 4-part series called "A New Way Home."Earlier approaches to encampment closure largely focused on clearing and fencing off areas in which unhoused people gathered and lived. This often left residents traumatized, worse off, and with nowhere to go but another encampment. Our journalists reported on this new process as it played out at the East Dallas encampment from start to finish. They stayed in contact with several people in the encampment, as well as the outreach workers who put in long hours to build trust and break down barriers.
