On this episode of 'Homeless in San Diego: Real People, Real Stories,' host Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, is joined by Stacey Proctor, Executive Director of Operation Hope Vista. Founded in 2003, Operation Hope Vista runs a 90-day intensive case management shelter program for women and families with children in Vista, CA and serves a real niche in the region as one of the few shelters available for families and single parents with kids.
Stacey also introduces Faith, a client of Operation Hope Vista, who currently lives in the shelter with her 12 year old daughter. Faith shares with listeners her journey of being a very successful professional to living on the streets after enduring a series of setbacks over the past year. She explains to Greg how families are often the "hidden homeless" that are difficult to identify, as well as a few compelling calls to action for those looking to make a difference in the homeless community.
