What happens when one act of kindness creates a ripple effect? In this inspiring episode, we hear the story of a man who brought John—a homeless veteran battling alcoholism—home from Port Authority for a shower and a safe place to sleep. That single gesture led to a placement in a veteran’s home and sparked a local movement. In Summit, New Jersey, a task force on homelessness helped 20 out of 25 unsheltered individuals find permanent housing—restoring not just shelter, but dignity. We also explore the ongoing challenges faced by those still struggling with mental illness and addiction, and how communities can come together to support even the most complex needs.
