In this series we’ve looked at some of the life challenges that sometimes result in men becoming homeless. Despite those challenges, everyone we spoke to had some light in their lives, something that gives them happiness and hope. Here, we get Tom, Charley, Ashley, Red and Nigel to explain where they find their power.
Reconnecting to community is important for people experiencing homelessness. Through music and the amazing songwriting work of Tom Smith, we were able to create a musical community to allow stories to flow naturally and in an environment of equality. I hope this series helps listeners better understand the challenges of men’s homelessness and dispel some of the myths around why people become homeless. The series is advocacy journalism in action.
