Episode Description

In this episode of Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu interviews Robb Munger, the founder of Exodus Place, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping homeless men in Michigan. Robb shares the inspiring story of how his journey started with helping a homeless person and led to the creation of Exodus Place in 2007.
Robb explains the unique approach of Exodus Place, focusing on providing a hand up instead of a handout to men in need. The organization's success is attributed to three pillars: men, mission, and me, emphasizing service, training, development, communication, love, compassion, and accountability.
The conversation delves into the impact Exodus Place has had on the lives of the men it serves, with a recidivism rate as low as 1%. Rob discusses the average length of stay for program participants, ranging from a week and a half to several years, depending on individual needs and progress.
Robb also addresses the challenges and successes of maintaining a safe and supportive environment at Exodus Place, where violence is strictly prohibited, and men take responsibility for upholding the organization's values.
Towards the end of the episode, Robb shares his vision for expanding the impact of Exodus Place by creating a standard operating procedure manual to help other nonprofits replicate their model. Listeners are encouraged to visit exodusplace.org to learn more about the organization and support their mission of transforming lives with compassion and understanding.
