Bills Sims, with an Unhoused Father Now Helping Others

It was a cold, windy, and cloudy fall day. Puddles of water marked the Believe plaza in the normal random manner. Yellow and red leaves stuck to the aged concrete. A lone skateboard practiced through the puddles. Near the crumbling Space Whale, a small group of unhoused community members took a rest and shared conversations. Bill Sims, a longtime Reno resident and advocate for the unhoused came to meet us there. He is the son of a man who was homeless. He now spends his free time volunteering to share meals, clothe and help the unhoused where needed. He also usually takes the podium during public comment sessions at City Hall. The reporter for this episode is Richard Bednarski. Get full access to Our Town Reno Newsletter at ourtownreno.substack.com/subscribe
