Michelle and Michael: The Birth of MY House and Its Impact

My goal is always to dump gasoline on that fire, and I met Stacey Yates Five Years Ago at a chamber of commerce meeting.
What does it take to build a lifeline for homeless youth? In this episode, Michelle Overstreet, Executive Director of MY House, sits down with founding board member Michael Carson to reminisce about the early days of the organization. They recount the trials and triumphs of setting up MY House in Wasilla, Alaska, a drop-in center that's become a beacon of hope for many young people.
Through their conversation, you'll hear about the grit and determination that went into addressing the urgent needs of homeless youth. From forming task forces to tackle substance abuse, suicide, and human trafficking, to becoming a model for other communities, Michelle and Michael's story is both enlightening and inspiring.
Whether you're looking to understand the challenges faced by homeless youth or seeking inspiration to make a difference in your own community, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the transformative power of compassion and action.
