Meeting the residents and staff within this community transformed my perspective on homelessness.
It was a joy to meet such kind-hearted, yet insightful people, who generously shared their heart-wrenching stories, with optimistic outcomes. Homelessness is a real problem and we need more programs like Gospel Inc.
There is good in the world and this community showed me it can come from anywhere, including the streets.
