Joel Reagan speaks with Melissa Frakes, Executive Director of Pivotal Point Transitional Housing. This organization helps homeless people (including those who are "couch surfing") overcome homelessness and pursue self-sufficiency. Frakes outlines the program and this model works. She also explains how many teens and young adults find themselves homeless and efforts to reach this age group. Upcoming expansion plans are also a topic. Frakes shares about the impact being made and how listeners can get help or get involved. (http://www.pivotalpointstjoseph.org/)
