Aaron Schrank
As LAist’s Health and Housing reporter, I aim to help Southern Californians understand the impact of the housing crisis on public health — how where people live can affect their overall well-being. I will also hold public officials accountable for serving the most vulnerable among us, including unhoused people and families.
I grew up in Phoenix, and I’ve covered many topics for public radio outlets in the Western U.S. — including education in Wyoming and religion in Los Angeles. My work has earned multiple Edward R. Murrow awards, and I served as senior producer for the Mobituaries with Mo Rocca podcast.
Please reach out to me with any story ideas, questions or feedback. You can contact me at aschrank@scpr.org or on the website formerly known as Twitter: @aaronschrank.
