George Chapman: Questions for the U.S. Homeless Coordinating Committee executive director

(Steve Griffin | Tribune file photo) Robert Marbut talks during a Pioneer Park Coalition meeting at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Thursday, May 14, 2015. Marbut is a proponent of a controversial approach to homelessness that purportedly encourages a campus-type approach for homelessness and tough enforcement outside of that of anti-panhandling and loitering laws. Homeless advocates like the Crossroads Urban Center contend the approach is "dehumanizing" and "bullying."
