Hidden Homelessness. How an Entrepreneur Is Rewriting the System

The interview features Andrew Funk, founder of Homeless Entrepreneur, discussing his organization's approach to addressing hidden homelessness. Funk shares his personal transition from startup entrepreneurship to experiencing instability, which informed the creation of his social enterprise model in Barcelona. The program focuses on assisting working professionals who are experiencing a lack of stable housing while remaining connected to the workforce, a segment often referred to as 'invisible' homelessness.

The discussion covers Funk's efforts, including a 150km walk from Zurich to Davos, and the methodology used by Homeless Entrepreneur. This model aims to facilitate the transition of individuals, referred to as 'protagonists,' back into full-time employment at companies such as Amazon, sometimes within a timeframe of 26 days. The conversation also touches upon the psychological aspects associated with losing housing stability.
