Homeless in Utah on Wednesday's Access Utah

On Wednesday we re-broadcast a show played earlier in 2012, about homelessness in Utah. Guests include Pamela Atkinson, a leading advocate for Utah's Homeless, and Leon Anderson a Utah State University professor of Sociology and Social Work. 

Tom Williams discusses how to approach the topic, the fatality rate, and the homeless themselves. 

Tom Williams worked as a part-time UPR announcer for a few years and joined Utah Public Radio full-time in 1996. He is a proud graduate of Uintah High School in Vernal and Utah State University (B. A. in Liberal Arts and Master of Business Administration.) He grew up in a family that regularly discussed everything from opera to religion to politics. He is interested in just about everything and loves to engage people in conversation, so you could say he has found the perfect job as host “Access Utah.” He and his wife Becky, live in Logan.
