The building was a warming shelter at the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I was thinking, wow, I&#8217;m taking this man&#8217;s home away,&#8221; Boone said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to do that.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So they kept the shelter open, and eventually Boone and her husband moved in to raise money to buy a bigger building. That grew into&nbsp;Oaks Village, which is now a food pantry, clothes closet, soup kitchen, free childcare center, free medical clinic and a nonprofit grocery store, in addition to the shelter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the kindness Boone has shown her community, she was named the USA TODAY Best of Humankind Awards Person of the Year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There is no one road to homelessness,&#8221; she said during the show. &#8220;These are people just like you. We are all just a few paychecks away from being in this same predicament.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The win was announced during USA TODAY&#8217;s Best of Humankind Awards, hosted by\u00a0Jenna Bush Hager, co-host of\u00a0<em>TODAY with Hoda and Jenna<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
