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 first two episodes of this season, we talked about what the first point of contact is like between someone who’s experiencing homelessness and someone who could potentially offer help — and then how they build trust after that point.
In this episode, we talk about what happens next on the road home: the processes and paperwork it takes for people to transition out of homelessness to housing.
Over the course of nine monthly episodes, we’re learning about what it feels like to access services and weave through our local homelessness and healthcare systems. 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.
Guests:
- Brian Haile, CEO of Neighborhood Health
