Drew Benton, Founder of Project Live Love and Director of Safehouse Outreach talks with host, Dawn Ely, about the homeless population, what it is like to be homeless, who are those suffering homeless, what they do and do not look like, how the realities challenge preconceived notions of what we think about those suffering homelessness, and what is needed to help those in homeless situations rise above. Host, Dawn Ely, also shares some of her eye-opening experiences with those in homeless situations. As Drew says at the end of the conversation, if we all took just one step towards informing ourselves by having just one conversation, we could make tremendous steps to solving many of the problems associated with homelessness. Don't turn away. Next time you are on the street faced with someone suffering from homelessness, choose to encounter them differently and hear some small piece of their story. We promise you, you'll be surprised, and you'll start seeing and understanding so much more about this circumstance and the people in it.
