A Step Between: Inside Transitional Living

In this episode, Scott talks with a local advocate who recently opened a transitional living space in Sheboygan. They discuss the process of getting in, the importance of accountability and structure, and the ultimate goal of helping residents move toward permanent housing. It’s an honest and hopeful look at what “a second chance” really means — and the effort it takes to make stability possible.
