Portland's homelessness and addiction crisis has captured national attention, but what's really driving the problem — and can faith help provide a solution? Erin Holcomb of Portland Rescue Mission joins Billy Hallowell to reveal what she's witnessed after 20 years serving people experiencing homelessness. From addiction and mental health struggles to trauma and poverty, Holcomb explains the heartbreaking realities many Americans never see. She also discusses "Conversations on a Bench," a nationwide initiative bringing rescue mission leaders together for 24 hours of conversations about homelessness, addiction, faith, and lasting solutions.
