The answers to the questions tell a familiar story.
An advocate for the homeless stands in a common area of a north side apartment building where the smell of urine and hopelessness is overwhelming and goes through a questionnaire with Brad and Megan Fielding.
Question: In the last three years how many times have you been homeless?
Lots, says Megan. Maybe four times? At least that, says Brad.
Question: Have you called any agencies?
All of them, Megan replies. We ve called so many since this happened.
The Fieldings are sheltering in the apartment building after having hopped from friends couches to a place on the southeast side where they were about to begin paying rent before it burned down and left them with a few days vouchers at a local hotel and nothing beyond.

Iowaâs 2020 election was one for the record books with 1.7 million people marking ballots.
It was an impressive turnout in Iowa with 76 percent of Iowaâs eligible voters taking part.
There were no allegations of election fraud or polling place shenanigans in Iowa. No one suggested people from cemeteries were casting ballots in our state.
We didnât hear claims Iowa voting machines were rigged by nefarious forces. No one suggested counterfeit ballots were sneaked into counties across Iowa.
So, this question is worth asking:
Why is the Iowa Legislature fast-tracking dramatic changes in the stateâs election laws that will make it more difficult for people to vote?
