The Hard Way With Joe De Sena

How One Officer Turns Showers Into Second Chances


Listen Later

In this episode, Joe De Sena sits down with Matt Prouty, a police officer showing what real community leadership looks like. When Matt Prouty saw addiction and homelessness destroying his community, he didn’t wait for policy—he built a street team, set up shower programs, and met people where they were. No excuses. No red tape. Just real action. This is a raw, inspiring look at what happens when one person steps up and leads from the front.   Watch now—and ask yourself: where could you step up in your own community?   Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:20 Meet Matt Prouty 01:36 What’s Matt’s Superpower 02:56 The Reality of Homelessness and Drug Use 04:15 Faith-Based Community Housing Models 05:44 The Role of Local Communities 07:06 How Matt’s Upbringing Shaped His Mission 09:13 From Law Enforcement to Outreach 10:14 Shower & Laundry Program 11:23 Playing the Long Game in Outreach 12:14 Team-Based Street Outreach Works Best 13:38 The Growth of Police-Led Outreach 15:04 How Can People Help 16:16 How Project Vision Was Born 17:28 How to Donate to Project Vision   Connect to Matthew & Project Vision: Website: https://projectvisionrutland.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/projectvisionrutland Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectvisionrutland
