What does homelessness look like in an affluent suburb like Westport—and who truly gets to call it home?
In this deeply human episode, we go beyond the stereotypes to explore the hidden faces of housing insecurity in one of America’s wealthiest towns. At the heart of this story is Homes with Hope, a local nonprofit quietly rewriting the narrative on homelessness since 1984. From emergency shelter to affordable housing and wraparound services, they’ve been helping people not just survive—but rebuild their lives with dignity.
Featuring three thoughtful and inspiring guests, one of which lives in affordable housing in Westport.
