Key Takeaways:
● 🏙️ Holistic Approach to Homelessness: Success comes from more than housing—it requires wraparound services addressing mental health, employment, and purpose.
● 🛡️ Understanding Human Trafficking: Trafficking isn’t just sex work across borders—it includes widespread labor exploitation hidden in plain sight.
● 🤝 The Power of Relationships: Building trust is key—people experiencing homelessness often wait for the person they know before seeking help.
● 💡 Employment as Purpose: Work and training programs restore dignity and create long-term stability for individuals transitioning off the streets.
● ❤️ Everyone Has a Story: Behind every case of homelessness is trauma, loss, or circumstance that deserves empathy and respect.

Quotes from Dr. Ami Angell:
● “One size does not fit all. It’s not about us—it’s really about them.”
● “Busy minds don’t find ways to get into trouble, and they feel honored and respected when given purpose.”
● “Everyone has a story. No one grows up saying, ‘I want to be homeless.’ Life happens. Trauma happens.”
🔗 Conclusion: Real solutions require empathy, patience, and action—meeting people where they are, listening to their stories, and helping them rebuild their lives with dignity.
