Are you curious about transforming homelessness and building vibrant communities? Check out part 1 of this conversation, where April and substitute co-host John O’Brien chat with Errin Stanger & Mandy Davis of Providence Park, a 50-acre planned community dedicated to providing permanent, affordable housing and a supportive environment for individuals transitioning from chronic homelessness in Central Arkansas. Inspired by a highly successful model in Austin, Texas, this project believes that housing combined with a strong sense of community creates true sustainability. We explore their unique vision, including beautifully furnished tiny homes designed with community in mind, and communal spaces like a central kitchen and laundry facility to foster connection. Hear how they define and serve the chronic homeless population, ensuring the right intervention for those most in need. Discover the vital partnerships propelling this ambitious project forward and how you can get involved.
