Homelessness is a complex crisis—one that can't be solved by temporary fixes alone. It takes compassion, innovation, and the courage to rethink how we support those in need. What if we could build communities that restore dignity, stability, and hope? In this episode, I'm joined by Ashley Garcia, founder and executive director of Tiny Villages Inc. We dive into the deeper issues behind homelessness and explore bold, community-centered solutions. Ashley shares how her team is building small, self-contained homes and community spaces that give people not just a place to live, but the support they need to move forward. It's a reminder that even small ideas can lead to big change. --- Listen to the podcast here: Innovative Solutions That Are Changing Homelessness with Ashley Garcia Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, I want to talk to you a little bit about addressing some of these major societal issues. Now, we all have our different reasons for why we're taking on the initiatives we have, but some of us are really moved by things that we see in the world, some major issues, and, sometimes, it could be pretty daunting to think about something that has been an issue for sometimes decades, centuries, even millennia, and really dig in and take it on. My guest today is Ashley Garcia and she is the founder and executive director of a Colorado nonprofit called Tiny Villages, the address is tinyvillages.org.  ---     Ashley is taking on a major societal issue and, Ashley, welcome to the program.   Thank you, Stephen, for having me today. I'm excited to talk a little bit more about Tiny Villages Inc.   Let's start out by, first of all, describing your story about the issue that you were moved to address and what made you decide that you have the capacity, have the talent, everything else to dive into it.    So, Tiny Villages Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Colorado nonprofit corporation where we're providing permanent housing solutions to citizens in the United States, and this includes safe housing with high quality of life and we're folding that into three different parts so there's housing, agriculture, and innovation. And with that, there's going to be things like solar panels being used, there's going to be over 110 acres on each of the tiny villages where we will provide agriculture that will give food to the villagers when they move in. And, with that, right now, we're focusing on the unhoused population. The reason being is, back in 2021, one of my businesses is real estate investing, and so with that company, myself and several of my business partners went and traveled the United States because we're looking for property so that we could have landing strips and have resorts and have gated communities, 24-hour security so that all the elitist in the United States could come, or actually in the world, could come and mastermind and just figure out and collaborate how to solve big world problems. And, the reality is, when we went and did this trip, we found out that there's a lot of land, and every single state that we went to, there was the unhoused population. So that's when I flipped all of this around and started Tiny Villages Inc.    So you noticed a lot of land, and another part of your mission is related to agriculture so did you notice a lot of land not only, and I'm specifically thinking about some places I've been to or used to live in like Illinois and Iowa where there's a lot of land but I just imagine a lot of it being corn fields, soy fields, and stuff like that, but I'm guessing you observed a lot of land that wasn't also already being used for agriculture?   That is correct. There's a lot of undeveloped land or there's a lot of like little towns and cities that have folded up because the people have actually left and went to the major cities where jobs are and so it was just eye opening to even see that.

As the CEO of Maryhaven—a premier nonprofit rehabilitation center in Central Ohio—Oyauma carries a story that's deeply personal and incredibly powerful.We talked about everything: growing up in Baltimore during the crack epidemic, the mentors who helped shape his path, and how he's now using his platform to lead the charge on some of the biggest mental health and addiction issues facing our communities today—right here in Central Ohio.We get into:→ The alarming rise in fentanyl and xylazine overdose deaths→ Why women are drinking more post-pandemic→ The hidden homelessness crisis in America→ How Maryhaven's programs are changing lives of people impacted by addiction and mental illnessI can't think of a more meaningful way to honor #mentalhealthawarenessmonth than with this conversation. Oyauma you are the true definition of a TOTAL BADASS. I'm so grateful for this time together. If you've ever wondered how to make a difference or just want to hear from someone who walks the talk—this is it.

The United States spends 30 billion dollars on foster care each year. Yet, according to author Claudia Rowe, the results have too often been damaging for the children in that system. The award-winning journalist claims our child welfare system is dangerously dysfunctional: by disconnecting kids from their biological families and extended networks, she says, foster care severs attachments that are important for healthy brain development. Her new book, Wards of the State: The Long Shadow of American Foster Care, is a deep dive into what she says is a pipeline from foster care to crime, drug addiction, homelessness and prison.

Gavin Newsom is proving to be a very good chess player as he continutes to work on his image in increments and the Republicans should and must remain vigilant when it comes to him. The Apes discuss why Newsom might be the front runner for the Democratic nomination heading into the 2028 election. Then the Apes discuss homelessness and how Matt Walsh would deal with them. Furthemore, Kyle Kulinski hates Matt Walsh's take on homelessness and gives his own solutions which the apes dissect and discuss. Finally, the P.

The Informed Citizen – Vigilante Justice in SeattleIn this eye-opening episode, host Philip Lindholm sits down with investigative journalist Jonathan Choe and newly elected Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank to tackle one of the most disturbing trends in the Pacific Northwest: the rise of vigilante justice in Seattle. With lawlessness on the rise and faith in public institutions waning, citizens are beginning to take matters into their own hands—and this episode explores why.Episode Highlights:Seattle's Descent into LawlessnessFrom teens wielding axes to open-air drug markets andemboldened squatters, Jonathan Choe reveals what his reporting has uncovered on the streets of Seattle. He describes a city where criminal behavior is often met with little to no consequence—and where both residents and law enforcement feel powerless.Broken Systems, Demoralized ForcesSheriff Keith Swank explains how decades of policy shifts have created a vacuum of enforcement. Felonies downgraded to misdemeanors, understaffed police departments, and lenient prosecution have undermined public safety and shaken morale among officers.Why Vigilantism Is on the RiseAs public trust evaporates, homeowners and landlords areturning to private security—or taking justice into their own hands. From landlords evicting squatters at gunpoint to citizens threatening to 'bring the homies,' the line between justice and revenge is becoming dangerously thin.Addiction, Homelessness, and Misdiagnosed CausesThe conversation turns to root causes. Both Swank and Choereject the 'more affordable housing will fix it' narrative, pointing instead to addiction, untreated mental illness, and a lack of accountability.
