In this episode of insideABODE, host Dave Jones revisits a conversation from the archive.🔁 A Throwback Thursday re-release. Originally recorded fall 2021.Tacoma Rescue Mission executive director Duke Paulson and chaplain Lonnie Arnold, a 26-year King County Sheriff's Office veteran, sit down with Dave to talk about what's behind homelessness in Pierce County and what actually moves someone off the street.They get into root causes, why more than half of shelter guests are people of color, staff burnout, and the outreach work that turns months of trust into a move from an encampment straight into housing. And the small stuff that matters more than you'd think: asking someone's name instead of "how are you?"For anyone who wants to help this season and doesn't know where to start.Recorded in 2021. Shelter numbers and guests' roles reflect that time.🏡 Looking to buy, sell, or just talk Pierce County real estate?
