Cyndee Clay has volunteered with the D.C.-based public health organization HIPS since she was a college student at the University of Maryland. She now serves as its executive director and sat down with Housing Complex reporter Andrew Giambrone to discuss its mission and the ways it serves its clients, from offering a safe place to shower to harm reduction counseling, as part of our annual People Issue. We recorded their conversation for episode 3 of the new Washington City Podcast, available for your listening pleasure now.
