Show Notes

Chronic homelessness is an issue that affects communities in America on both coasts. Last week, The Mayor's Office of Homeless Services released "Newark's Strategic Plan to End Chronic Homelessness" within 3 years. On this episode we breakdown the comprehensive plan with the City's Homelessness Czar Luis Ulerio, and Jim Pelliccio, Chair of the City of Newark Commission on Homelessness. 

We then expand the conversation to include Ken Craft, CEO of Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission located in southern California. His company's mission is to prevent, reduce and eliminate poverty, hunger and homelessness.

In 2021 his company, helped with the mission of the development of 6 tiny home villages in Los Angeles County, CA. These 6 villages provided over 900 beds. This was in addition to the 506 beds, Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission helped to previously develop in southern California.

Listen in as we explore Newark's strategic plan and as we learn about the actions taking place by Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission to decrease southern California's homeless population.
