Hometown Radio 08/14/23 4p: Homeless advocate Becky Jorgeson is opposed to the recent crackdown by city officials

Few people make the kind of impact on a city that Charlie Strobel did. On a winter night in 1985, Father Strobel, then pastor at Holy Name Catholic Church in East Nashville, saw people gathered in the parking lot trying to endure the cold. He invited them inside, and gave them food and shelter for the night. From this, the program he called Room In the Inn began. And so did his dedication to serving people who are experiencing homelessness, which would never waver — even as Room In the Inn grew from an informal arrangement between churches into the multi-story Campus for Human Development that it is today. Charlie Strobel died over the weekend at the age of 80. Today, we remember his life and his legacy. Guests: Beth Courtney, niece Rachel Hester, executive director of Room In the Inn Howard Allen, co-founder of Nashville Homeless Underground Stacy Rector, director of Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty Lindsey Krinks, co-founder and director of advocacy for Open Table Nashville This episode was produced by Steve Haruch.

It shouldn't be illegal to feed hungry, unhoused folks, and yet this is now the case in Houston and cities across America. Shere Dore is a homeless advocate in Houston who has been working to feed her unhoused neighbors since 2011. She is a devoted member of Food Not Bombs – a movement composed of volunteers who come together in cities around the world to provide food for hungry and unhoused folks. Shere has been rewarded for her important work with 8 TICKETS from the city of Houston since March 1st. Collectively, the volunteers in Houston FNB have received 22 tickets for feeding homeless folks outside of the public library. The end of this episode contains a tribute to forest defender Tortuguita, who was killed for protesting the development of Cop City. Tort was a volunteer with  Tallahassee  Food Not Bombs.   I connected with the folks at the Tallahassee Food Not Bombs group Tort volunteered with, and people had such wonderful things to say about Tort.

New York City is the wealthiest city in the United States – by some counts, the world. But after three years of pandemic, it has yet to build back better: rents are skyrocketing, concern about crime is at an all-time high, and the focus has landed on people living on the streets and the subways. There's been a high-profile effort by the city's mayor, Eric Adams, to clear the streets, including controversial sweeps of encampments and hospitalizations by police, even when people don't want to go. So how can the city protect the most vulnerable New Yorkers?

Duke Givens is well known for his work with homeless residents in Long Beach through his nonprofit, Care Closet LBC, but before he became a prominent advocate, Givens was already a talented photographer. Recently, he showcased his latest exhibit “Shades of Her” at the Expo Arts Center in celebration of Black History Month. The series highlights the diversity of Black women and their role in bettering the community. Givens has been photographing Long Beach for over 30 years. He has previously documented the perils of gang life and even designed an album cover for the legendary Long Beach rapper Snoop Dogg. Days after presenting “Shades of Her,” Givens was named a recipient of the city's 2023 Peacemaker Award, which annually honors individuals who promote the values of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through their community activism. On this episode of “The Word” podcast, Givens shares his thoughts on his exhibit, his award, his future in photography, and ways the community can continue to support the unhoused. “Shades of Her” is no longer on display, but Givens says he is working on making the exhibit a mobile pop-up gallery. He is currently working with the African American Cultural Center and Long Beach Poly High School to set up the next event.

Amid mounting controversy over Mayor Eric Adams' decision to clear out hundreds of homeless encampments all over the city, homeless rights advocate Shams DaBaron joins Errol to talk about his own experience living on the streets of New York. Shams, who is commonly known as the “homeless hero,” also opens up about his own struggles with depression and alcohol abuse, as he pushes for better mental health resources for homeless New Yorkers.

Homelessness has been front and center in Anchorage politics for years, but particularly during the covid pandemic with the conversion of the Sullivan Arena into an emergency mass shelter. The debate has been dominated by those of us who have never been homeless; in fact, few of us have ever had a meaningful interaction with a homeless person. Today we talk with a woman who has experienced homelessness at various stages of her life in multiple cities in Alaska including Anchorage. Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq Gamache will explain how she first ended up on the streets as a child, what has kept her there, and what she most wants listeners to know about the homeless. Warning: this episode contains graphic content including descriptions of substance abuse, rape, suicide, and the physical and sexual abuse of children.

A homeless advocate hopes health authorities listen to those on the frontline about the best way to reach at-risk communities for vaccination. In April, Te Tuinga Whānau Trust's Tommy Kapai Wilson travelled from Tauranga Moana to Wellington to pitch his idea for a 'jab cab' to Ministry of Health officials. Similar to the 'Shot Bro' buses that rolled out in Tāmaki Makaurau months later, the vans would have provided transport to and from a Covid vaccine clinics. While the wheels never got turning on the jab cab, Tommy Wilson hopes the government learns a thing or two. Jean Bell reports.

In addition, a newly completed rock barrier through the Delta in Contra Costa County is expected to help preserve water for millions as drought conditions worsen in the state. And, California Attorney General Rob Bonta has issued new guidelines that he hopes will strengthen accountability and transparency in investigations of shootings involving law enforcement. Finally, a preview of the relaunched “Cinema Junkie” podcast, which took a quarantine break.

We explore the topic of homelessness with Michael Gaulden.  Michael is an author, entrepreneur, community activist and advocate for the homeless.  His story is remarkable. Michael and his mother grew up homeless from the ages of 7 through 17.  They lived in cars, parks, shelters, stairwells and bus stations.  With no money, no home and no refrigerator, he experienced severe hunger that felt like his own body was digesting itself. He and his mother relied on food from shelters, but often those resources were empty, and he was forced to beg or worse simply to survive. Michael tells the story of how he discovered education as his way out of the homeless trap.  Despite making tremendous strides in learning, doing his homework under a street light, being told by adults he was doomed to fail and getting constantly teased and harassed by other children, Michael persevered and succeeded.  He was awarded a full ride scholarship to UCLA and graduated with a double major in Political Science and African American Studies. Michael now focuses his life as an advocate for the homeless.  As CEO of Creating First Impressions, he and his team provide resources and skills training to help struggling people find their way out of homelessness. We explore his incredible story including working as a high school student to earn enough to finally secure a stable home for his family.  We learn how city leaders push the homeless out of communities and often out of town completely. We learn how in order to climb out of homelessness, the individual needs to believe in themselves first and want to make their life meaningful. With homelessness getting more attention in the local and national media, it is intriguing to hear a story of a person that experienced the struggle first hand.  The homeless are not nameless and faceless.  They are real people with real stories and often with great value to offer others. What can we do to help?  Let’s focus in our own community.  Often it just takes a friendly conversation to start the process.  Reach out.  Simple gestures and offerings go a long way to helping those in need get on their feet.  The end result is a Win-Win outcome where the person in need is lifted up and the community overall is improved.
