Welcome to Unsheltered Conversations, a podcast from HomeAid America where we take an honest look at homelessness and the people, policies, and partnerships working to end it. I'm your host Scott Larson, CEO of HomeAid.

Today for our very first episode, I'm joined by someone whose voice has shaped so much of how HomeAid shows up in the world, our Chief Marketing Communications Officer, Monique Waddington. We're talking about why this podcast exists, what it means to give a voice to those who are unsheltered and the role storytelling plays in helping all of us build a more compassionate response to homelessness.
