The mission of My House is to empower youth experiencing homelessness, to be contributing, self-supporting members of their community. That contributing word is so critical because that's where, that's the opposite of addiction. That's where the connection is.
Ever wondered how a community can turn the tide for homeless youth? In this episode of the MY House Podcast, hosts Michelle Overstreet and Isaac dive deep into the concept of 'exit strategies'—a game-changer in helping young people transition from homelessness to productive community members. Michelle shares the journey of MY House, from facing skepticism to becoming a beacon of hope for many.
The discussion highlights the difference between just providing shelter and offering comprehensive support that addresses mental health, substance abuse, and job training. This episode is a must-listen for anyone keen on understanding how targeted strategies can foster sustainable independence and transform lives. It’s not just about giving a roof over their heads; it’s about equipping them with the tools to thrive.
Michelle and Isaac also emphasize the need for communities to see homeless youth as valuable assets, capable of contributing positively when given the right support. Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with hope, perseverance, and actionable insights.
