Joel Reagan talks with Kasey Wilson, the Executive Director of Riverview Hope Campus, serving the Fort Smith region, providing shelter, stability resources, and supportive programs to individuals experiencing homelessness. Wilson discusses the campus’s emergency shelter, warming and cooling stations, transitional program dorm, and essential services including showers, laundry, meals, and case management. He also shares information about life‑skills classes, ID and document recovery, employment support, and future expansion needs. A compelling moment highlights their dog kennels, often the key factor allowing people to safely enter a shelter, knowing their pets will also have shelter.
