In this powerful episode, host Beverly Knox Davis sits down with Jessica Lefkowitz, founder of the Hearts for the Invisible Charlotte Coalition, to explore what it truly takes to address homelessness with dignity and impact. Lefkowitz shares her journey from professional bartending to full-time advocacy after witnessing the rapid growth of Charlotte’s tent city during the pandemic.
The conversation unpacks how her organization secured critical government funding, expanded street outreach, and helped move hundreds of individuals into shelter and permanent housing. Together, they challenge common misconceptions about homelessness, emphasizing that it affects every neighborhood and cannot be solved through displacement or judgment. Instead, the episode highlights the power of consistent human connection, stable housing, specialized case management, and cross-sector partnerships as the only sustainable path forward.
This episode is a call to see people first — and to act with empathy, accountability, and collaboration to support Charlotte’s most vulnerable residents.
