In this episode of Voices of Homelessness, we share another success story from client Chuck. From spending nights sleeping in his car, to being securely housed in beautiful Tiverton, RI -- Chuck shares his journey from homeless to housed. Chuck shares his son's struggle with mental illness which ultimately lead to Chuck losing his housing multiple times and his son being incarcerated. He speaks to his own mental health in dealing with the turmoil of housing instability, and describes the toll homelessness takes on an individual.
On November 2, 2020 the Coalition's Slack channel was a-buzz with the story of Tisha Miller who was featured on Caught In Providence with Judge Frank Caprio. Judge Caprio showed Tisha kindness and empathy when he removed the boot off her car and granted her daughter's wish for a hug from the judge.
Today, Shirley Jones meets with Megan Smith of House of Hope, CDC and Tisha to discuss the oppressive systems that keep people entrenched in homelessness and the ways in which kindness can change someone's life.
