After a year of displacement, Khandi Huddleston and her three children move into a home.
Coming up on the end of 2023, more than 100 unhoused families have found a permanent place to live.
Family homelessness is called an “invisible” type of homelessness. Those who don’t have a permanent place to stay are often able to stay away from public view — in cars, couch-hopping, shelters, or low-budget motels. In just a couple days, Safe Haven, in partnership with 30 other nonprofits, is set to wrap up a challenge to house 100 families experiencing homelessness in 100 days. Well, they’ve already crushed that goal. And, even though this particular initiative is ending, they have no plans to stop the momentum.
Guests:
- Drew Freeman, CEO, Safe Haven Family Shelter
- Rod DeVore, Director, 2Gen Initiatives, United Way of Greater Nashville
- Jennifer Reason, COO, Safe Haven Family Shelter
- Zilla, Customer Service Professional
- Christina O’Saile, Regional Manager at Freeman Webb Company
