2. "Hope for the Homeless" with Senator Steve O'Ban
Join us as we explore the homeless crisis, exploring the problem and discussing solutions. This show is for the game changers, the world shapers, the inquisitive, and the ambitious who believe in Thomas Jeffersons great saying that, “an informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy.” So whether you're tuning in during your commute, at the gym, or relaxing at home, join us on this exciting journey and let’s dive into this episode of, The Informed Citizen.
Discussion Topics
Topic 1: Who is Steve O’ban?
From paper boy to seasoned senior lawyer skilled in Governmental and Legislative Affairs. Steve has over twenty-five years in private practice, seven years in state government, and five years as senior counsel for the executive at the county level. Steve has served as chair
and ranking on health care, human services and other legislative committees and is now tackling one of the biggest problem of our time, the homeless epidemic.
Topic 2: Why is the situation so dire?
The reason most people are on the street is
the profound failure of family. From aging out of foster care to general lack of support. Most of our current solutions are so one dimensional. They may address one aspect of the problem, but fail to attack the others head on. Safe housing is crucial, but so is mental wellness, relationship building, and working together to build hope for a brighter future.
Topic 3: Compassion for our neighbors.
This is a community crisis, and our solutions must be humanity centered. These are real people, with real lives. We all deserve to live in a community that is built on trust and Community First Village provides just that. It offers solutions to the many problems this crisis raises, and is truly a light in which the hope for a brighter future can be seen.
Closing Thoughts: We hope this discussion about the
homeless pandemic raised some eyebrows and sparked some conversations. But remember, the conversation doesn't stop here. We love hearing from you, our listeners, so be sure to reach out. Until next time, stay curious, stay informed, and keep exploring new ideas. We'll be back soon with another exciting episode of The
Informed Citizen.
