Where did the money go, and who was actually helped?
Money meant to help people without a home should change lives. HUD Secretary Scott Turner joins Dr. Ben Carson to question the results of homelessness spending in Los Angeles, discuss allegations that public funds paid for personal luxuries, and explain why he wants greater accountability.
For taxpayers footing the bill—and families still waiting for help—the stakes are personal. Turner makes the case for changing how homelessness is addressed, while Dr. Carson presses him on what went wrong and what needs to change.
The conversation also explores another challenge facing American families: buying a home. From factory-built housing and cutting red tape to respecting skilled trades, Turner shares his approach to expanding opportunity—and the faith he says guides his hardest decisions.
