Aaron Schrank
Health & Housing Reporter
What I cover
I cover the impact of the housing crisis on public health in Southern California and how where you live affects your well-being. My coverage focuses on homelessness.
My background
I’ve been a public radio reporter and audio producer for more than a decade, reporting on homelessness, religion and other topics for local and national audiences.
My goals
I want to track how public officials spend taxpayer money and whether they deliver on their promises to the L.A. region, especially to unhoused people and working families.
