Description

In this episode, we talk with Jessica Mathis and Calvin from Welcome Home Coalition, a group of organizations working together to advance the idea that everyone deserves a place to call home. Mathis is the regional organizer and Calvin is an advocate. They talk about the speaker advocate program, and the value of hearing and connecting to people with lived experience of homelessness. And why that’s key to effective public policy.
