Concerns About the Office of Homeless Services Boil Over


Listen Later

With the Old Tent City encampment set for closure early next week, is Metro’s “Housing First” strategy being followed? Executive producer Whitney Pastorek sits down with Homelessness Planning Council chair Kennetha Patterson and writer/community organizer Mike Lacy, who say they have significant concerns about the Office of Homeless Services, the outside organizations tasked with overseeing supportive housing sites like Strobel House, and how Nashville’s Continuum of Care is being impacted as a result.

Read Mike Lacy’s “Housing Last: The Rodeway to Nowhere” report here.

Watch the music video for Daniel Holmes' original song referenced in the episode here.
