When we think about our unhoused community, Nashville is no longer just Nashville.

Nashville is now Antioch, Hermitage, West Meade…Madison — many tight communities with their own culture, nuanced challenges, and options. On today's show, we bring in people who live and work in Madison — navigating homelessness, treading water, and building the structures needed to save lives.

This episode was produced by Tasha A.F. Lemley. Special thanks to Darrin Bradbury.

  • Rev. Jay Voorhees, pastor of City Road Chapel UMC

  • Caroline Lindner, housing navigator

  • Frank Simmons, musician, Madison resident

  • Joy Flores, Vice President of Ministries, Nashville Rescue Mission

  • Brian Haile, CEO, Neighborhood Health
