Coming Soon: How Media Can Change the Housing Conversation from Stigma to Solution – Episode 2 of “The Common Ground” Podcast

By May Louis-Juste, NLIHC Project Manager, Strategic Partnerships & Campaigns 

In episode 2 of “The Common Ground” podcast, “From Stigma to Solutions: Inside Beyond the Bridge and How Media Can Change the Housing Conversation,” the host of “The Common Ground” interviews Dom Sawyer and Tim Hashko, the filmmakers behind the powerful documentary Beyond the Bridge. Their work challenges deeply rooted myths about homelessness and centers on real, proven solutions that are already working in communities across the country. 

After traveling more than 40,000 miles across the U.S., Dom and Tim set out to answer a question too often left unasked: How do we end homelessness? Rather than reinforcing stereotypes or focusing solely on crises, Beyond the Bridge shifts the lens toward systems, collaboration, and models that move people into stable housing. 

“The Common Ground” is a new storytelling podcast that highlights the powerful intersections of housing, homelessness, and other sectors. Each episode aims to bring together cultural leaders, artists, journalists, advocates, and influencers to explore how their values and work connect to housing justice, emphasizing our collective responsibility for a future where everyone has a place to call home.
