This Is Nashville

Joy Flores and the mission to shelter the unhoused


Listen Later

When people in Nashville have nowhere else to go, they find our guest this hour.

We’re getting to know the story of Joy Flores, the vice president of ministries at the Nashville Rescue Mission. Her journey includes time working in foster care, years on Skid Row in Los Angeles, and losing her own brother to the perils that accompany homelessness. It’s a career that has shaped her whole-person philosophy of caring for anyone who is homeless, because usually they need a lot more than a place to lay their head. 

This episdoe was produced by Josh Deepan.
