Today's podcast was recorded on a very auspicious occasion: the day Jimmy signed a lease on an apartment after years of being in and out of shelters and living on the streets.

In this episode, Jimmy talks about his early years in a family that struggled with alcohol abuse, then found love and loss, homelessness and addiction, and, ultimately, recovery, and the work it takes to get there.

One year ago today, we released our FIRST podcast episode! Since then, we've talked to more people experiencing homelessness. We've also found support from Vermont Humanities and partnered with the Green Mountain Technology and Career Center!

Over the coming year, we will spend time with people who have recovered from their experience of homelessness. We will also be following one person as they navigate the road from experiencing homelessness to being house. STAY TUNED!

Fred's story starts with a chaotic and terrifying childhood, followed by early independence and decades spent trying to become the father for his kids that he never had in his own life. Through his struggles with alcohol and marriage and fatherhood, Fred finds deep resilience in sobriety and honesty.
