In this episode of the cityCURRENT Show, host Andrew Bartolotta sits down with Tracy Burgess, Executive Director at Dorothy Day House, a nonprofit dedicated to keeping unhoused families together while providing them with the resources and support they need to regain stability. Unlike traditional shelters, the Dorothy Day House provides a home-like environment where families can stay together as they navigate the challenges of the unhoused.
During the conversation, we explore how the Dorothy Day House works, the barriers families face when experiencing homelessness, and the comprehensive support provided—including housing, education, financial planning, and emotional support. We also discuss how the community can get involved through donations, volunteering, and advocacy efforts like Café Du Memphis to make a lasting impact on families in need.
Tune in to hear inspiring success stories and learn how the Dorothy Day House is transforming lives by offering not just shelter, but a path to long-term stability and hope.
