    You're Really Not That Different

    Why would a rescue mission start a podcast? In this introductory episode of Not That Different, host Jaime Buxton shares the heart behind the microphone. We explain who The City Mission is, what we do, and why we believe the conversation around homelessness needs to change. For over a century, The City Mission has walked alongside men, women, and children experiencing crisis — offering not just shelter, but long-term programming focused on recovery, workforce development, education, and restoration. But behind every program is a person. Behind every statistic is a story. This podcast exists to challenge assumptions, break down stereotypes, and remind us of a simple but powerful truth: The people experiencing homelessness are not “other.”They are parents, workers, neighbors — people whose lives took an unexpected turn. And if we’re honest, many of us are closer to crisis than we’d like to admit. In this episode, we share who we are, what makes our approach different, and where we believe this conversation can lead. Because when we truly listen, we begin to see it: You’re really not that different.
