In this episode of The Power of the W, we sit down with our very own Nicole Sodawasser, a dedicated social worker who has been a driving force behind the creation of our brand-new youth group home, Alan’s House.
Nicole shares the story of how this project came to life and the passion that fuels her work with young people. Together, we talk about the unique challenges unhoused youth face compared to adults, what these struggles mean for our community, and how group homes like Alan’s House can offer not just shelter, but stability, hope, and a sense of belonging.
