This month’s podcast episode hits another hot button topic: Homelessness and jobs!
We hear it a lot, “why don’t they just get a job?” If only it were so simple!
On this episode of the Restorers Podcast, Vanessa Philbert, CEO of the Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County explains what that means on a macro-level throughout Lancaster.
