Billie Wright talks with Josiah Haken, CEO of City Relief. City Relief provides warm meals for homeless throughout our city. Haken shares how they also align resources to help the unhoused find housing, necessary items, and more. He explains how compassion and dignity can make all the difference in those who are homeless. Haken also tells us ways businesses can help with the cost of living. He says there's a misconception that the unhoused are choosing to be homeless and shares how we can eliminate that stigma.
