Ep. 44 Elvis Summers: Founder of Tiny House Project Emergency Shelter for People who are Houseless, Ignored & Forgotten
Episode description
You wouldn't think that helping the homeless would ever lead you to wearing a bulletproof vest would you? Let's rewind for a moment. Welcome Elvis Summers the founder and CEO of Tiny House Project Emergency Shelters, a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Corporation that builds shelters for veterans and the houseless. In disgust and awe at the jaded tolerance around homelessness in his community, Summers began building small shelters with one outlet for light and charging devices safely enclosed with a dead bolt door. His story twists unexpectedly when Summers is met with threats and violence for "taking" from the for profit homeless efforts in LA. Not allowing this bullsh*t to stop his cause, he wore a bulletproof vest around town as he worked. This fascinating juxtaposition between money and mercy is discussed in today's episode with Elvis Summers. Please check it out and consider donating to their cause www.thetinyhouse.org
