How He Helps Heal The Chronically Homeless | Father Tim McCabe

Father Tim McCabe grew up blue collar in Detroit, worked construction, ran refugee programs, and spent years with people at the bottom before he ever put on a collar.He was assigned to a day center for the homeless in 2015. But after five people died of fentanyl overdoses within a couple of days, his team sat together and someone said it doesn't have to be this way.So he started building and he raised nearly $40 million without a donor database.The Pope Francis Center now has a bridge housing facility designed around trauma, with wide hallways, natural light, on-site medical and psychiatric care, a full curriculum, and people graduating to housing.Here's everything we covered:→ Why trauma-informed care is the only approach that works for chronic homelessness→ How he raised $13 million from a family in California who found him on a Google search→ Why Housing First doesn't fix "habitual homelessness”→ The moment he knew the building was going to happen→ Where the work goes next: housing, trades, and ending the cycle for goodFather Tim didn't wait for permission, a budget, or proof it would work. He just started moving and kept going until the resources caught up.Chapters0:00 Intro1:00 How We Met: A Hospital, a Saturday, and a Stranger Who Stayed9:03 The Pope Francis Center and What It Was Before14:54 Five Deaths in a Week: Why He Decided to Build16:08 The Consulting Firm Said He'd Never Raise $3 Million19:25 The Google Search That Led to $13 Million23:36 What Trauma-Informed Actually Means in a Building35:34 Father Tim's Life Before the Priesthood41:23 Why Government Money Makes the Problem Worse50:53 A Day in the Life Running a 37-Person Operation55:37 What Comes Next: Housing, Trades, and Finishing the Bridge~~~Connect with Matthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mattloria/https://www.facebook.com/mattloriahttps://www.instagram.com/loriamatt/Prefer to Watch?https://youtu.be/FPfT5vDdwRoThis episode is powered by Auxiom.Finally ready to outsmart your IT chaos?https://auxiom.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/auxiom-llc
