Welcome to today’s episode, “On the Corner of Homelessness & Advocacy”. Today we have Stacy Pollard from Family Promise joining us via online call.
Homelessness is a complex issue. We don’t claim to explore every part of this intersection, but hope that each conversation brings new clarity to the reality as a whole. Please keep an open, curious mindset as you listen, and seek to learn, just as we are.
Hosts Emma Hughes and Joe Ader of Family Promise of Spokane.
