Height reflects on decades of work on Indianapolis’ east side, the epidemic of loneliness, and practical ways neighbors can serve one another through presence, hospitality and shared responsibility. The conversation explores housing stability, preserving existing homes, supporting seniors, responding to food insecurity during the SNAP disruption, and how churches and civic groups can step up locally. Height also explains Shepherd Community Center’s Poverty 101 program and how organizations can use it to better understand the complexity of poverty.
