This Is Nashville

In My Place, Episode 15: Two steps forward. Now what?


Listen Later

Welcome back to our second season of In My Place. This special series educates listeners on what communities like Nashville can do to prevent and end homelessness — while caring for our neighbors who are still unhoused.

In our last episode, we learned what happens when the paperwork finally comes through and puzzle pieces start building a hopeful picture.

Well, we're taking a couple steps back. Today, our table is staying packed for a Q&A with folks who want to help us remember even when things seem to be going well a lot of last-minute hurdles can stand in the way of an apartment.

Over the course of nine monthly episodes, we’re learning what it feels like to access services and weave through our local homelessness and healthcare systems. And we’re discussing what services work, what resources are missing, and what ideas our guests have for improvement.

This series was created thanks in part to support from Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and was produced by Judith Tackett.

  • Lisa Abell, vendor with The Contributor
  • Darrin Bradbury, Founder, The Beat
