Deep Friendship - Larry James

Deep friendship. Housing first. Reciprocal service. These are just a few of the radical ideas that have made CitySquare a massive force for good in the Dallas area. Since Larry James became CEO of this organization in 1994, he has led the charge to fight the causes and effects of poverty through service, advocacy and friendship. But he would tell you that the real work is being done not only by the other employees and volunteers, but more so by the very people the organization was founded to help. He believes those closest to the problems in our city are the ones best placed to help find solutions. Larry generously shares CitySquare's struggles, triumphs, and their vision for the city of Dallas.
