Without a home in a pandemic: a Would Works Artisan shares her story in this podcast
Many Would Works Artisans reside in congregate settings with other people experiencing homelessness. During the pandemic, these facilities have become COVID-19 hotspots. In this episode of the Uncertain Hour, host Krissy Clark asks the question, "how did these communal living facilities become our primary response to homelessness in the first place?"
Through the gripping and devastating narrative of a Would Works Artisan, "Pebble", we hear what it is like living through this pandemic when you are unhoused.

Nick Offerman Partners with Would Works to Empower At-Risk Angelenos Through Woodworking
Nick Offerman has partnered with Would Works, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that teaches woodworking skills to at-risk Angelenos. These skills can lead to careers in industries like construction, set-building, and carpentry.
Beyond woodworking, Offerman highlights the “incredibly benevolent and warm humanism” at the heart of Would Works. "We're giving people … mental health, counseling, job counseling, life coaching. It's a place to say, 'Come on in, I see you, I care about you, I recognize the trouble you might be having. Here's a sandwich, here's a bowl of soup. Now, this is a hand plane,'" Offerman said.
