A mission to achieve functional zero homelessness and the faith journey that led him there. This is Josh Sabo’s story of faith and service.
An unexpected spiritual journey led him to becoming a pastor with a doctorate degree in ministry, followed by a spiritual restlessness leading to an equally unexpected path to serve a broader community as the executive director of Heartland HOUSED, devoted to achieving functional zero homelessness in Springfield, Illinois, through a housing first strategy of collective impact.
