Settled with Gabrielle Clowdus

Today’s episode is a conversation with Gabrielle Clowdus, one of the founders and leaders with Settled, a Minnesota-based organization helping churches to establish permanent supportive tiny home villages for folks experiencing long-term homelessness.

Settled’s approach to addressing homelessness includes housing, but more importantly, focuses on building supportive networks with church members and neighbors to support folks coming out of long-term homelessness. Gabrielle and her team work with congregations to create the context and the spiritual depth that prepares them to reimagine their property for tiny home villages and supports them as they live into the realities of living in and among their neighbors.

In this episode we talk about the original vision for Settled, what a Sacred Settlement looks like at churches they work with, the beautiful messiness of working and living alongside long-term homelessness, and what it takes for churches to host these kinds of vital communities. Settled is thinking well outside the box when it comes to homelessness and inviting churches to take advantage of their property and live into the freedom of the Gospel for the sake of the common good. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Gabrielle Clowdus.
