Changing the Narrative About Homelessness
Creating a "Buzz" to End Homelessness
In this special episode, Anne gives a behind the scenes look at how Union Station Homeless Services was able to culminate its 50th year anniversary with its first ever float in the 2024 Rose Parade! The "Bee the Solution" to ending homelessness float uses a lighthearted and playful approach to raise awareness about the most pressing crisis of our time. The float offers a unique opportunity to inspire communities and homeless services agencies across the nation to unite with the common goal of ensuring that all our neighbors can find a safe and healthy place to call home. Anne chats with key players in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- Jay Walters, Union Station board member and mastermind behind the opportunity, John Ramirez, the creative and talented float designer at Artistic Entertainment Services (AES), and David Eads, CEO at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses who sheds light on the significance of this impactful collaboration.
This podcast is produced by Brenda Lynch and Katie Cookerly-Dietrich, edited by Jesse Lumen, with production assistance and music by Colin Feldmeth. Special thanks to our Union Station Homeless Services Lived Expertise Advisory Panel (LEAP) for their insights.
