How do our unhoused neighbors find community? Today, we’re speaking with current and formerly unhoused residents about life in shelters and encampments, as well as how they make friends and find support. We are also joined by outreach workers from Metro Nashville’s Homeless Impact Division to discuss how their department is changing, and what it means for the services they offer.
Guests:
- Sally Lott, Homeless Impact Division Coordinated Entry Manager
- Leigh Holland, Homeless Impact Division Coordinated Entry Assistant who was formerly unhoused
- Tony Foster, community member who has been unhoused since he was 18
- Imani Miles, musician and former LaunchPad resident who recently found permanent housing
- Aloe Vera, resident of LaunchPad’s independent supportive living program
