The meaning of “home” differs from person to person, but no matter the size, shape, or configuration, there is one thing they all have in common. In the web of our lives, home is at the center. It is the space from which we venture out and to which we return. It is the literal foundation upon which we build our lives, the stable base that allows us to care for ourselves and our community.

As you listen to J.C. share what his home means to him, we invite you to reflect on what your home means to you—and on how providing a home to one of our unhoused neighbors affects your own life.
