What do people think they know about homelessness — and what’s actually true?
In this episode, Scott sits down with his wife and co-founder, Kathleen, for a no-fluff conversation about the most common myths surrounding homelessness: the belief that people choose this life, that all unhoused individuals are addicts, and that help is always accessible. Together, they reflect on what they've witnessed since their day center closed, and how the lack of structure has deeply impacted the community.
This episode offers facts, challenges assumptions, and calls for compassion — because ending homelessness starts with understanding it.
