In My Place, Episode 18: Losing home again

Welcome back to In My Place  — a series about finding, and losing, home in a growing Nashville.

This season, we’re getting to walk through the specific steps from homelessness to housing with people who have done it.

In our last 8 episodes, we’ve talked about everything from connecting with services for the very first time to celebrating an apartment. But for many folks it doesn’t stop there — so neither did we.

Most recently, we spent time trying to understand why having a place, even though it’s great, is really hard. So, in this episode, we’re talking with people about what it’s like to experience becoming unhoused again.

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

Guests:

• Jamie Villegas, member of the Homelessness Planning Council, expert through experience
• Kennetha Patterson, national peer advocate, expert through experience
• Lizzie Goddard, principal and owner of Goddard Consulting Co., housing systems strategist
