Podcasts about homeless shelters

On today's show, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill introduces a new segment, The Angel Effect, which is being produced in partnership with Angels of Assisi. Based in downtown Roanoke, Virginia, Angels of Assisi is a nonprofit Community Pet Clinic & Adoption Center whose mission is to create a world where every pet in our community gets the care they need and a home they deserve. So we kick off this new segment with a conversation with executive director Lisa O'Neill and development director Carol Jessee.And just a few hundred feet down the road from Angels of Assisi is the new home of R.A.M. House (Roanoke Area Ministries), a day shelter for Roanoke's unhoused population. Michael shares a tour he got of RAM House's Jain Care Center from executive director Melissa Woodson as she and her staff prepare for an open house and ribbon cutting on Sept. 25. Mark your calendars for this amazing community celebration.

In any given year, leap or otherwise, August 22 is almost but not quite two-thirds of the way through the year. For this year, the exact tally is 64.1 percent. In 2028 that number will dip slightly to 63.9 percent. One unwritten style note of Charlottesville Community Engagement is that the percentage sign is to be avoided.A perhaps gaudy style note is to use these podcast editions to inform newer readers (and listeners) of previous editions from this day. The archive is free for all to review because the point of this entire endeavor is to connect people to things they may want to know.* August 22, 2023: Piedmont Housing Alliance selected to develop Piedmont site at UVA; SELC files suit to keep Virginia in RGGI (CCE-568, a podcast version as well!)* August 22, 2024: Two-thirds of the Albemarle Electoral Board express concerns about ranked choice voting (CCE-722, after the decision was made to not make a podcast every time)These podcast editions also serve as a way to put out a “week in review” with links to the stories covered. This time around, two of the stories debut in audio form first before their publication in print. This audio version also went over the radio airwaves on WTJU at 6 a.m. If you weren't up then, take a listen and see what you can learn if you open up your ears a bit.In this edition:* Charlottesville continues to prepare to move people from Rivanna River encampment while some residents call for a halt (read the story)* Council allocates $3 million more to Salvation Army's Center for Hope (read the story)* A representative of the Central Arizona Shelter Services gives more details about the organization (print story coming on Monday)* Albemarle County Supervisors review planning department's work plan (read the story)* Charlottesville City Council agrees to hand over a narrow stretch of land to a local developer (print story coming on Wednesday)* A very brief preview of the Week Ahead that comes out tomorrow (self-explanatory)A sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!Notes on CCE-1111ANow that title sounds like a Federation starship's designation. The numbers are part of a structure I've put in place over time to help me know what I wrote when. I looked back at the two previous August 22 editions and my only thought is whether there may be a WAN version from August 22.Thanks to a spreadsheet I keep, there is!* Week Ahead for July 4, 2022: Fluvanna to ponder new name for Palmyra district; Louisa to further discuss library name-change, how to celebrate America's 250th in four yearsI really want to keep doing this. I seldom stop and look back, but this new habit of tying podcasts to earlier versions of the newsletter helps me do so. Can the editors of other information outlets do the same thing? I'm here to document and hundreds of you are paying me to do so.To what end? For me, I want to keep writing these stories. For one story today, I did about two hours of research into City Council minutes and my own reporting to try to fill in context. All of this material is out there for people to review, but how can anyone figure it out?That's where Charlottesville Community Engagement hopes to come in. I encourage everyone reading to click on source materials yourself and see what I'm reporting from.Photo gallery of flood pictures This is a public episode.

Where do you get your information about what's happening in the greater Charlottesville area? Hopefully from multiple sources in order to expose yourself to multiple perspectives. But perhaps this is your first time looking at (or listening to) the opening words of a sonic edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast that seeks to get more people to understand what's happening at local and regional government.Longtime readers are aware that there is a podcast edition of this newsletter that eventually shows up. No matter the day of publication, the sonic version also serves as a way for people who refuse to listen to still have an opportunity to sample stories from the past week that have since been posted over at Information Charlottesville.This particular edition is a longer version than usual as there was no dedicated podcast last week. That means this one has audio stories from two WTJU radio editions plus some that didn't fit in the broadcast version for May 16. There's a lot happening in this community and I'm determine to cover what I can through the lens of local government.I'm Sean Tubbs and I'll remind everyone that this work is only possible due to paid subscriptions to Substack as well as charitable contributions. Since July 2020, this newsletter seeks to bring information to as many people as possible in the hope of improving conversations.In this edition:* Salvation Army launches fundraising campaign for Center for Hope (read the story)* Many details remain to be worked out for how three groups will work together at Charlottesville's future low-barrier shelter (read the story)* Albemarle staff working on five projects to implement new Comprehensive Plan (read the story)* Albemarle Supervisors leave Comprehensive Plan amendment process as is (read the story)* Charlottesville to form committee of developers to encourage more Missing Middle housing (read the story)* Council holds first reading on how to use Community Development Block Grants CDBG funds in 2026 (read the story)* Tree Commission presents recommendations for how City Council can help improve tree canopy (read the story)* In a divided vote, MPO Policy Board moves forward with two Smart Scale projects without city support (read the story)* Albemarle and Charlottesville both mark Older Americans Month (read the story)First shout-out: Camp Albemarle!Since the middle of 2020, one way I've brought in revenue for Charlottesville Community Engagement has been by offering shout-outs to those who were willing to pay a little more to help this venture get off the ground.For six years, one of those people has been someone who wanted you to know a little about Camp Albemarle, which has for over eighty years been a “wholesome rural, rustic and restful site for youth activities, church groups, civic events and occasional private programs.”Located on 14 acres on the banks of the Moorman's River near Free Union, Camp Albemarle continues as a legacy of being a Civilian Conservation Corps project that sought to promote the importance of rural activities.Rebuilt in the early 1980's, a legacy of 4-H programming thrives along with a wide range of additional activities. Educational initiatives from schools across the region spark environmental learning moments at every turn. Visit the website to learn more!Second shout-out: Support this journalism with a paid subscription or a charitable gift! Every day I wake up and think about what I need to do to get stories out about what's happening. Over the past six years, I've built an engine to remind me when I clock in what I need to do next. If life is a role-playing game, I rolled the dice and ended up in the weird category of observer.I'm able to do this work and be prolific because of the investments of others over the past 20 years. For almost six years now, this newsletter has sought to document upcoming decisions about the future. There is a value to having someone consistently paying attention to help others understand how we got to here and how we might go forward.Perhaps you want to help ensure the work continues?* A paid subscription through Substack is the most effective. There is little to no content behind the paywall, but this helps pay the bills.* You can make a charitable contribution through the Tiny News Collective. This directly supports journalism and is likely the way I'll be able to hire people. Learn more here.* You can become an experimental advertiser! For a very low price, you can support the work by getting a message out in the form of a shout-out, a sponsorship message, or a display ad over at Information Charlottesville. Message me for more information.But perhaps the most important thing is to share this newsletter with people you think might be interested. Right now I'm very close to 5,000 subscribers to this newsletter and it would be nice to cross that threshold some time this year. Do your part and find out what the share button does! And here are some social media possibilities:* I created a BlueSky account because I missed Twitter but I don't do much except post links to Information Charlottesville stories. That may change.* There are 444 followers of the Town Crier Productions Facebook page which is currently solely used to let people know when a story has been posted to Information Charlottesville. I may begin using this to do live video of podcast recording. Interested?* There are slightly more followers on Instagram, but I have paused posting here because I want to make the images look better and so far that's not been worth investing the time.* I post a version of the Week Ahead on Reddit each Sunday which is a little shorter. This is intended to attract people to the newsletter and many of you got here from there. But there is no official page and you have to know my username. Maybe I'll change that in the future?* Except for reposts of this show, there is no new content on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network but it predates this newsletter by 15 years. I had a good idea and all I wanted to do was tell stories about the community. Here I am still, hoping to get more people involved.* Except for instructional videos on how to produce audio, I'm not doing video. Not everyone has to do video. But I just found this very unwatchable thing I did for Patreon supporters back in May 2021! This is a public episode.

What has happened in the last week? There are many different organizations that document current events and affairs through the telling of stories and then packaging a look back. This is a journalistic tradition that dates back many years and Charlottesville Community Engagement seeks to continue with this Monday morning look and listen for people to catch up.Most people read the material while others look forward to every installment of the podcast edition which offers a chance to hear what people sound like. I'm Sean Tubbs and here are five stories you may have missed:* Charlottesville City Council briefed on low-barrier shelter might work groups that provide the programming (read the story)* City Council agrees to hire consultant to develop public arts commission for Charlottesville (read the story)* One of Albemarle County's community advisory committees weighs in on what they'd like to discuss at this year's meetings (read the story)* Albemarle County Executive Jeffrey Richardson shares data points on Albemarle services with Supervisors (read the story)* The director of the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority gives an update on Long Bridge and expansion of service to Christiansburg (read the story)You can help get more information out to more people by sharing the links above or sharing the newsletter! Thoughts at the end of CCE-1023AI really enjoy doing this work. I'm producing this into the evening of March 29, way past when I would usually be working but I need to at least make sure the script is ready to go. I want to make sure this goes out in the early morning of March 30.I know that most people will not listen to the audio when presented as an optional thing to print. You can read the stories so much faster, but there's something to hearing people's voices that I feel is important. I like producing long audio versions because I like to use a skill I began to learn a long time ago. One day maybe others will help me with the editing and such.Now it's the morning of March 30 and it's taken me an hour or so this morning to put this together, but that's mostly because I got caught in a research problem related to a new interface the Virginia Department of Elections has for their historical database.In any case, there are no shout-outs in this post because I don't have anyone underwriting them. That's in part because I've not had time to spend connecting with those who might be interested. I'm more of a journalist than a person who runs a company. You can support the work through a paid subscription through Substack or making a charitable contribution via the Tiny News Collective.There will be another edition later today as well. I have two stories written and will aim to get another two written as well. Thanks for being part of this experiment!Very quick look at the Week Ahead:I am going to memorialize this here as an example of how this gets made. This segment was done to fill a one minute hole in the version for WTJU that aired on March 28. At the time I publish it, I've already written a fleshed out version but this served as an initial glimpse that then allowed me to do that work faster.This is from the script for the radio show. Sometimes if I don't write it down, I'll go way over length. Improvisation is fun and all, but I mostly have to get the work done.Finally today, a look ahead to what's happening in local governments next week:* In Albemarle County there will be two more town hall meetings related to the FY2027 budget with one on at 6 p.m. on Monday at Lakeside Middle School and one on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Albemarle High School.* On Wednesday the Board of Supervisors will meet at 1 p.m. and will get an update on transportation before having another budget work session. In the evening session at 6 p.m. there will be a public hearing on the Great Eastern Management Company's request to add more homes at North Pointe and reduce the amount of commercial space.* Charlottesville City Council will have a budget work session on Thursday at which they'll wrap up discussions in anticipation for adoption in the middle of the month.* Fluvanna County Supervisors will have a budget public hearing on April 1And that's that!

Jessica Anderson joins Breaking Battlegrounds this week to discuss the Trump Accounts for Kids, an innovative public-private partnership included in the Big Beautiful Bill. The program focuses on saving today and investing in the future, with business leaders matching contributions to a modern version of "baby bonds." It represents a meaningful investment in the American Dream for the next generation. Jessica also breaks down the rapid and damaging shift under Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger campaigned as a moderate highlighting her background as a mom and former CIA officer and promising to prioritize affordability. Yet in less than 30 days in office, she has embraced the most extreme elements of the Democratic Party and pushed them into the mainstream. Jessica describes Spanberger as the female equivalent of Mamdani in Virginia. The agenda includes massive tax hikes, new taxes on lawn equipment, cutting off state and local cooperation with ICE and law enforcement, and introducing resolutions to roll back Governor Youngkin's changes to DEI policies—among many other proposals. As a result, business owners are already exploring options to leave the state, while many small businesses may be forced to shut their doors altogether. Chairman Will O'Neill of the Republican Party of Orange County joins us to discuss the massive California fraud quickly unfolding and the staggering $31 billion in unemployment fraud that occurred in 2021 and 2022. During that period, states took out unemployment loans from the federal government to cover shortfalls. California still owes more than $20 billion and remains the only state that has not repaid its federal loan. Because the state has failed to pay it back, employers are now facing higher unemployment taxes—effectively a tax increase driven by Governor Newsom's refusal to retire California's own debt. O'Neill also highlights a recent case in which an individual living in a $7 million home was arrested for allegedly stealing $23 million in homelessness funds from a program overseen by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's department. Gary Gygi joins us to discuss the Trump Accounts for Kids, a new initiative that provides every child with a $1,000 account at birth. The funds become accessible at age 18, though recipients can choose to leave the money invested and allow it to continue growing over time. These accounts will be primarily invested in the stock market, with the possibility of limited additional options. The goal is not only long-term growth, but education—introducing young people to capitalism, helping them understand that risk can be positive, and reinforcing the value of participating in the market. Bess Byers joins us to discuss New York City's $65 million effort to house trans homeless people. When she first saw the story, she immediately thought of the women at a Los Angeles shelter where she previously volunteered women who were seeking refuge after fleeing abuse and domestic violence. Bess raises concerns that legislation affects these women-only shelters by housing women with males and whether it's trans homeless or any homeless shelter, the homeless industrial complex has so much fraud and waste.

In this powerful episode of American Potential, we sit down with Johnnie Calloway, grassroots engagement director for Americans for Prosperity-Missouri, who shares an unflinchingly honest account of his life growing up in poverty, facing domestic violence, and enduring unimaginable loss. From spending childhood years in a homeless shelter and living in Section 8 housing to losing two children and his mother, Johnnie's story is one of heartbreak—but also of transformation. He takes listeners on his journey of self-discovery, describing the pivotal moments that awakened his faith and inspired him to break cycles of negativity. Johnnie reveals how he went from consuming toxic influences to immersing himself in self-education, reading dozens of life-changing books, and finding a new purpose rooted in service, hope, and helping others. Johnnie also shares the remarkable full-circle moment of buying and restoring the very home where he experienced both tragedy and early lessons of resilience, turning it into a symbol of redemption and possibility. His reflections on fatherhood, faith, community, and the importance of personal responsibility offer a heartfelt and empowering message for anyone striving to overcome adversity. This episode is a reminder that no matter where you start, you have the power to change your path—and to inspire others to do the same. Join us to hear how Johnnie Calloway embodies the spirit of the American Dream, turning his hardships into hope and his pain into purpose.
