Jason Craig speaks with Christa Hawkins, Executive Director of Hope Connections in Shreveport, LA. Their mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves someone who believes in their success. As the lead agency of the region’s homeless system, Hope Connections works to connect individuals with housing and essential services. Hawkins highlights programs including the Street Outreach Team, Solid Ground Haven, and Coordinated Assessment Program. She explains that homelessness is often driven by circumstances beyond a person’s control. Drawing from her own journey through addiction and housing instability, Hawkins reflects on the power of trust, relationships, and community collaboration. (nwlahope.org)
