Jake Bradley
One of the most enjoyable aspects of this course is listening to our guest speakers. Every speaker has been able to provide us with a face of an injustice and a struggle occurring today. Jake Bradley provided us with very enriching information regarding the LGBTQ community and the issue of poverty and homelessness. Jake is a very valuable member to this society as he is one of the founder of "The Crib". The crib was an experimental program which later became fully funded and many other programs were modeled after it. What a great success! Jake brought awareness to a very important issue within homelessness, he stated that a vast majority of the individuals being housed at this center were homeless because they belonged to the LGBTQ community. This is a very compelling statement, to think that individuals are going through such suffering because of their sexual orientation, which is a freedom we all have.
