The partial government shutdown is in its 35th day, and thousands of federal workers will miss a second paycheck.

The Show recently spoke with Amy Schwabenlender, president and CEO of the Human Services Campus. That’s a group of different organizations that come together to support Phoenix’s homeless population.
Schwabenlender said the most immediate impact they’re feeling is the absence of a $550,000 Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, contract they haven’t yet received since HUD isn’t open to award it to them.
