This month, we continue with the second of our two-part series on "Housing the Unhoused," where we explore the issue of homelessness in Gloucester County. In Part 2 of the series, we speak with Lisa Kersey, Director of the Gloucester Department of Social Services. We also speak with Rev. Wendy Roundy, CEO / Founder of Helping the Homeless Ministries. Both of these organizations work first-hand with the homeless and underserved in our community. In this episode, we not only learn about what these organizations contribute to the overall health of the community, but also get a glimpse into how so many organizations in the community pitch in and work together to help combat the issue of homelessness.
