About this episode

Kenneth Braswell discusses the challenges faced by fathers experiencing homelessness with Bishop Ferguson.

What happens when fathers have nowhere to sleep, nowhere to bring their children, and nowhere to feel seen as men? In this episode of I Am Dad Podcast, Kenneth Braswell sits down with Bishop Ferguson at the Liberty Avenue Men’s Shelter in East New York to discuss homelessness, housing instability, dignity, mental health, reentry, fatherhood, and the urgent need to see unhoused men as whole human beings.
