In My Place is a series that 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 last episode, we celebrated getting those keys! In this episode, we’re talking about the difficulties of having a home. It’s easy for those of us who have never been homeless to celebrate someone getting housed, breathe a sigh of relief, and then stare in disbelief when things don’t go smoothly. Today, we sit down with those who have gone through the housing process to talk about barriers that remain — and unexpected issues that may arise after people move into permanent housing. This series was created thanks in part to support from Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and was produced by Judith Tackett.
