…🥂In this episode of Savvy Wife Savvy Life, we confront the paradox of wealth and poverty in California, where homelessness is normalized despite the state's affluence. We explore how tax dollars intended for solutions often fall short, leaving children and families on the streets or in cars. We empower listeners to challenge this status quo through informed voting, advocacy for systemic change, and understanding legal rights when social services fail. Additionally, we discuss the steps to start a nonprofit focused on empowering women and children facing financial instability and homelessness, emphasizing mission clarity, research, partnerships, and sustainable practices. Together, we aim to break the cycle, redefine prosperity, and create a more inclusive and compassionate society for all Californians💛 #savvywifesavvylife #thesavvycircle #thesavvylifestylelounge #lifestyle #podcast #podcasting

Ready to dive into a story that'll make you think differently about homelessness? 🤔 This week's episode of EXT 6, episode 3, takes a deep dive into the world of homelessness, but with a twist. We're not just talking about youth homelessness, we're uncovering the hidden crisis of homelessness among older adults. The episode features the inspiring story of Gary Cochran @garycochran who found his calling in ministry after years of wrestling with his own path. He shares how God led him to connect with those on the margins, those who have been marginalized, kicked, abused, and torn down by life circumstances. What's even more shocking is that this man's journey to ministry started in high school! He shares how he felt a call to connect people to God, and how God continued to work in his life, even when he was unsure of his path. This episode is a powerful reminder that homelessness can happen to anyone, at any age. It's a complex issue with no easy answers, but it's one that we can all work together to solve. 🤝 Tune in to EXT 6 and be part of the solution.

As Australians, we have a couple of options, we can hide our head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist or we can actively look for ways to help, because whether it's a little or alot...we can all make a difference. Norm shares his personal story and provides listeners with raw and very real insights into the issue and how as the Founder of Beddown, he witnessed the effects and impact that was experienced by those who were helped.

HOW DO YOU WRAP 30 YEARS OF LOOKING FOR ANSWERS? Reveal the uncomfortable questions we’ve asked ourselves. RAFT started small back in 1994. Unfortunately, we grew because the demand grew. Which told us that something wasn’t working because the problem was only escalating. So we began questioning absolutely everything. And we have never stopped pushing and prodding. To celebrate our 30th we thought it would be interesting to share 30 questions that have challenged us and the out-of-the-box answers we have come to. We invite you to follow our regular updates and find out how RAFT is having a dramatic impact on reducing teen homelessness. https://lnkd.in/geduuHQJ

This week, Gregg Colburn, co-author of "Homelessness is a Housing Problem," joins Nick and Goldy to dissect the complex factors fueling America’s homelessness crisis. Colburn presents compelling evidence that challenges common misconceptions around homelessness, revealing that it stems primarily from the rising costs of housing rather than issues like addiction or mental illness. He explains that evidence shows comprehensive strategies—combining affordable housing, rental assistance, and supportive services—can meaningfully reduce numbers in the unhoused population. While acknowledging the long-term nature of the challenge, Colburn reframes housing as essential infrastructure, calls for big investments in building more housing units, and offers a compelling, data-driven case for rethinking America’s approach to homelessness and housing affordability. 🎧Listen at the following link or wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gCJZWn-n

🎨 Sometimes the heaviest stories need a different kind of telling... I'm excited to share our latest episode of "When I Was Homeless..." in a completely reimagined format. We've transformed Aga's powerful survival story into an animated visual experience that makes difficult topics more accessible without diminishing their impact. Why animation? Because sometimes, the raw truth needs a gentle messenger. The slightly offbeat camera angles and cartoon styling create a safe distance that allows viewers to engage with challenging themes: • Domestic violence and homelessness • Mental health • Single parenthood • The journey to healing It's not your typical podcast-on-YouTube experience – no audio waves or static images here. Instead, we're experimenting with storytelling that bridges the gap between compelling content and approachable presentation. Would love your thoughts on this format. Does animation make difficult stories more accessible? 🎬 Watch the premiere 9/5/24👇🏽 #CreativeStorytelling #PodcastInnovation #SocialImpact #AnimatedContent #DigitalStorytelling #NonprofitInnovation

📣 It’s Pod Drop Tuesday! 🔵 Episode 140: The Hopeful Pragmatist https://lnkd.in/gUwzuYhd This week on the show, Dr. Shaunna Payne Gold and Lisa Ingarfield, Ph.D. discuss a whole host of issues ranging from renaming monuments and federal landmarks to criminalizing the #unhoused in Oregon. Tying it all together is hope - who has greater access to hope that things will change? Word of the Week [1:20]: Homeless to Unhoused. If we're being totally transparent, we've probably been raised and socialized to place a negative value on those who experience homelessness, or houselessness. Let’s talk about it. Phase 1 [5:01]: Rename It. Whether it's in response to mascots, statues, buildings, or transportation, renaming things has become a norm when new or negative information is discovered. Mount Blue Sky in Colorado is no different. Phase 2 [17:44]: Criminalizing the Unhoused. Grants Pass, Oregon passed a city ordinance enabling local police to ticket their unhoused community. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in this case and a prior case (from Boise, ID), that criminalizing sleeping in public places when there is no where else to go is a violation of the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. #SCOTUS hears the case this week and Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna are not optimistic. The comfort of people with houses will likely prevail over those who are truly marginalized. Phase 3 [33:18]: The #Privilege of Hope. After a curious tweet about Brittney Griner's financial need to play basketball in Russia, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa dive into their divergent takes on their hope that humans will treat each other better. #podcast #diversity #equity #inclusion #belonging

Thanks to Ian for sharing this link. Ian is a great example of a Social Entrepreneur in my book. Having had lived experience of homelessness he has been able to turn his life around and is now acting as a conduit or platform for those who may be faced with the predicament that he was once in through his Stand Up Speak out podcast - SUSO. Having been offered a helping hand ( not a hand out) he is doing the same to others. Ian was asking me the other day about the Changing Lives programme run by Crisis. I know Crisis have helped Ian in the past. One of the aims of Gresham Benevolent Fund (“ GBF”) which I am Treasurer and Trustee is to help those with lived experience of homelessness set up their own businesses. The link is below. GBF as one of the Supporters of the Changing Lives has offered assistance through the “ Next Step” phase of the programme. In other words (1) Crisis help people set up in business and then (2) Supporters of Changing Lives offer grant assistance or mentoring or a combination of both. Changing Lives is supported by the Bank of the Black Horses 🐎 🐎 🐎 … that’s right Lloyds. So if you want like Ian are a SoloMicro Business or Social Entrepreneur first step is to get in touch with Crisis and see whether they can help. Anthony and Nicola are two Social Entrepreneurs I have listened to on Stand Up Speak Out … hopefully they will also apply to the Changing Lives programme : a Property Developer Business and Media Business respectively. There are 5 million Micro Small Medium Entreprises (“ MSME”) businesses in the UK … if they could join Crisis Changing Lives programme with the financial backing of Lloyds who knows how many helping hands 🙌 could be extended. And you never know you might get a visit from a pack/ herd/ flock of Black Horses 🐎 racing down your street with Florence & the Machine singing her head off. Exciting n’est ce pas? https://lnkd.in/ea3sJU6p
