Recently, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at fundamentally changing how the country addresses homelessness. The order promises to crack down on street homelessness across the country, in part by institutionalizing people with mental illness. Here in California, Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized Trump’s recent order, while at the same time encouraging a more punitive approach to getting people off the streets. There’s so much debate around the issue, but we rarely hear from the unhoused people at the center of this controversy. Vanessa Rancaño introduces us to Armando Herrera Vargas. He once had a family, a house and a job, but he has been living on the streets of San Francisco for the past decade.  And our series of conversations about resilience continues with Dr. Shanice Robinson. She's a visiting assistant professor at San Francisco State. Resilience is central to her scholarly work, which focuses on the school-to-prison pipeline, and to her advocacy work with incarcerated people. It's also core to her personal experience as a self-described “prison wife” whose husband is serving multiple life sentences in prison.   Plus we visit Fresno where this summer, a group of teens got a chance to study a musical genre they have a deep cultural connection to. And they got to put their own spin on it. Reporter Esther Quintanilla with the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative and KVPR takes us to a rehearsal of Mariachi Unidos.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
