Vop Osili and Jay Height on Neighborliness, Housing & Hope
On Big Hearted Indy, hosts Greg Enas, Chris Spangle and Don Palmer talk with Indianapolis City-County Council President Vop Osili and Shepherd Community Center Executive Director Jay Height about friendship, faith in action and building a more connected city.
Osili shares how his grandparents’ example of dignity and his father’s integrity in public service shaped his leadership, along with how architecture and public policy can strengthen neighborhoods. Height reflects on decades of work on Indianapolis’ east side, the epidemic of loneliness, and practical ways neighbors can serve one another through presence, hospitality and shared responsibility.
The conversation explores housing stability, preserving existing homes, supporting seniors, responding to food insecurity during the SNAP disruption, and how churches and civic groups can step up locally. Height also explains Shepherd Community Center’s Poverty 101 program and how organizations can use it to better understand the complexity of poverty.
Big Hearted Indy is produced by Citizen 7 and focuses on authentic friendship, service and leadership in Indianapolis.
