“We don’t have a housing crisis. We have a housing policy crisis.”

In the newest episode of Unsheltered Conversations, Scott Larson speaks with Tom Grable, former Division President of Tri Pointe Homes in Southern California, about the barriers impacting housing affordability and supply across California.

What does the impact of homebuilding really look like?

Sometimes, it looks like bikes in the front yard. Basketball hoops in the driveway. Neighbors walking their dogs. Families living their everyday lives in the communities that builders helped create.

In this week’s episode of Unsheltered Conversations, Scott Larson sits down with Tom Grable, former Division President of Tri Pointe Homes in Southern California, to reflect on a decades-long career in homebuilding, leadership, and community impact.

Because housing is more than a product. It is the foundation for stability, dignity, and belonging.

Home means more than a roof overhead.
It’s a place to heal, rebuild, and reconnect.

Through the work of our nonprofit partners, including Shepherd’s Gate, Hope House, St. John’s Program for Real Change, and Breakthru House, mothers are finding that chance every day. A chance to heal, to rebuild, and to show up for their children again.

This Mother’s Day, we honor the strength it takes to start over and the love that never left.

Because when moms heal, families heal.

Addressing homelessness requires more than housing alone.

It requires access to the essentials that support stability:
• Food security
• Hygiene and daily necessities
• Healthcare and recovery support

Through its national network, HomeAid collaborates with nonprofit partners to help meet these critical needs for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

These services play a key role in supporting recovery, improving outcomes, and creating pathways toward long-term stability.

Sometimes, the smallest spaces create the biggest impact.

“They didn’t have a resume. So we helped them build one.”

In the newest episode of Unsheltered Conversations, Theresa Murphy shares how a 750-square-foot space at Precious Life Shelter became a place of opportunity.

What started as a small thrift store grew into a space where women could learn job skills, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward independence.

This is what happens when housing is paired with support, education, and community.
