I didn&#8217;t meet Jonathan in my normal way of walking down the street handing out socks. I was introduced to him because Jonathan was working as a<a href=\"http:\/\/homelesshotspots.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Homeless Hotspot.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jonathan became homeless as a result of a drug addiction. Currently, he is in a Narcotics Anonymous program and has eighteen months sober.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan lives in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontsteps.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless shelter <\/a>and has a part-time job helping mentally challenged children. Jonathan is taking all the right steps to get his life back.<\/p>\n<p>When Jonathan starts to talk about the Homeless Hotspot you can tell he is excited. All the vendors I met that day were having a blast meeting new people. Jonathan likes the program because it will show the general public &#8220;homeless people may be homeless but they are not hopeless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more about Homeless Hotspots read my post <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/2012\/03\/12\/panhandling-or-hotspot-vendor-which-is-better-homeless-hotspot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Panhandling or Hotspot Vendor: Which is better?&#8221;<\/a> and listen to the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/2012\/03\/13\/kpcc-radio-homeless-hotspots-mark-horvath-sean-condon-rabbi-marvin-gross\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KPCC Radio with Mark Horvath, Sean Condon (Street Paper Association), Rabbi Marvin Gross (CEO, Union Station)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[248,230,241,372],"tags":[337,253,515,397,508,507,398,509],"coauthors":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/videos\/1902"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/videos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/videos"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1902"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-537697-2997182.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
