From D.C.
On
Friday, Cox started a new and important job, taking on a role that, at
once, is distant from the night he slept in a bank lobby and a unique
fit because of it. The 54-year-old is the newest executive director of Charlie’s Place, a drop-in center for the homeless in Northwest Washington.
He steps into that position just six years after first walking into the place as a homeless man.
Not
long after that night next to the ATM, he started sleeping on benches
in Lafayette Square. There, he met a police officer who told him about
Charlie’s Place, an outreach arm of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church. He
says he didn’t go that day. But eventually, he walked through the doors,
seeking a hot meal.
