Karyn Walsh, a pioneering advocate for homelessness, retires after nearly three decades leading Micah Projects in Brisbane. She began her journey by living in a church with her pregnant family, witnessing homelessness firsthand. Walsh founded Micah in 1995, transforming it into a powerful force for inner-city support. Despite Brisbanes economic growth, homelessness persists, with Walsh attributing this to displacement caused by prosperity. She has navigated governments from both sides, advocating for real change. Walshs coalface grit, shaped by personal experiences, has earned her respect from colleagues and priests. She has broken silence on institutional child abuse and built programs like young mothers shelters and Common Ground housing. Walsh is not retiring from advocacy, aiming for bold solutions to end the housing crisis, not just manage it. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
