Collaboration is the lifeblood of nonprofit work, and in this episode, we celebrate the spirit of collective action in Hamilton County, Indiana. By bringing together nonprofit leaders, including the Good Samaritan Network and HAND, we uncover the incredible impact of partnership on combating housing insecurity. We bring you a moving success story of a family who defied the odds, fought eviction, and not only found stable housing but also became advocates for the community, all thanks to the support network provided by Family Promise and their New Lease on Life program.

Lastly, we discuss the vital role each one of us can play in ensuring housing security within our communities. Highlighting the "The Future Begins at Home Breakfast" event, we invite you to listen to real stories from those who've overcome housing challenges.
